If you’re craving cozy comfort in a bowl, this Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup might just become your new go-to recipe. It combines the soul-warming satisfaction of a classic lasagna with the creamy indulgence of Alfredo sauce—all in a soup form that’s easy to make and even easier to love. Perfect for a chilly night or a lazy weekend dinner, this dish takes everything you love about lasagna and serves it up with a spoon.

What Kind of Lasagna Noodles Work Best?

For this soup, traditional lasagna noodles broken into large chunks work perfectly—they hold their texture and give the feel of eating lasagna without all the layering. However, you can also use oven-ready noodles or even mini lasagna pasta (mafalda) if you want a quicker-cooking option.

Ingredients for the Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

Lasagna Noodles: These give the soup its lasagna identity. Break them up so they’re spoon-friendly but still hearty.

Butter & Garlic: The base of any good Alfredo flavor—buttery richness with aromatic garlic.

Chicken Broth: Acts as the liquid base and balances the creaminess with savory depth.

Heavy Cream: Delivers the lush, velvety texture you’d expect from Alfredo.

Parmesan Cheese: Adds salty umami and helps thicken the soup naturally.

Italian Seasoning & Basil: Brings herbaceous notes that echo classic lasagna flavors.

Salt & Pepper: To enhance and balance every layer of flavor.

Cherry Tomatoes: Their slight sweetness adds contrast to the savory base.

Spinach (optional): Adds a fresh, healthy twist that also brings in color.

Shredded Mozzarella: Stirred in at the end for ultimate cheesiness and gooey bites.

How To Make the Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

Step 1: Sauté the Garlic Base

Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. This is the foundation of that rich Alfredo flavor.

Step 2: Add Broth and Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and a pinch of basil. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Break and Cook the Lasagna Noodles

Break lasagna noodles into 2-3 inch pieces and add them directly into the simmering broth. Cook until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Stir in the Cream and Cheese

Once noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Slowly stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the soup thickens.

Step 5: Add Veggies and Mozzarella

Add halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach (if using), stirring just until wilted. Finally, stir in shredded mozzarella for a melty, gooey texture.

Step 6: Serve Hot and Garnish

Ladle into bowls and top with more Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and chopped fresh basil for that picture-perfect finish.

How to Serve and Store This Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

This soup is best served fresh while hot and creamy, with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley and extra Parmesan on top. It pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.

To store, allow the soup to cool to room temperature and transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep in mind that the noodles will continue to absorb the broth, so when reheating, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen it back to soup consistency.

Freezing isn’t recommended for this one—dairy-based soups tend to separate when thawed. If you must freeze, do so before adding the cream and cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions

What protein can I add to make it more filling?

Cooked shredded chicken, Italian sausage, or even leftover rotisserie chicken work great for adding protein.

Can I make this soup gluten-free?

Absolutely! Use gluten-free lasagna noodles and make sure your broth and seasonings are certified gluten-free.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the base ahead and refrigerate. Cook the noodles separately and combine them just before serving to avoid sogginess.

What can I use instead of heavy cream?

Half-and-half or a mix of milk and a little cream cheese can work in a pinch, but the soup will be slightly less rich.

Is it possible to make it vegetarian?

Definitely! Use vegetable broth instead of chicken and skip any meat additions.

How can I thicken the soup more?

Add a bit of cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) or stir in extra Parmesan for a thicker, richer finish.
