A rich and comforting Alfredo Lasagna Soup combining the creamy flavors of traditional Alfredo sauce with hearty rigatoni or lasagna noodles, garnished with toasted breadcrumbs and fresh herbs for a perfect weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Pasta

  • 8 ounces rigatoni or lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup toasted breadcrumbs
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté Garlic: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, to build a flavorful base for the soup.
  2. Make Roux: Stir in the all-purpose flour to the melted butter and garlic mixture to form a roux. Cook the roux, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden color, which helps thicken the soup.
  3. Add Broth: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and free of lumps. Continue stirring until the broth is fully incorporated and the soup base begins to thicken.
  4. Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream along with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the soup simmer gently for 5 minutes to develop the flavors and thicken slightly.
  5. Melt Cheeses: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses. Continue stirring until the cheeses are fully melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  6. Add Cooked Pasta: Stir in the cooked rigatoni or lasagna noodles, allowing them to warm through in the cheese sauce for a few minutes.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Top each portion with toasted breadcrumbs for extra texture and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Cook pasta just until al dente before adding to soup to avoid overcooking.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though soup will be less rich.
  • Breadcrumbs can be toasted in a dry pan with a little butter for added flavor.
  • Reheating may require adding a splash of broth or cream to maintain consistency.
