Creating Alfredo Lasagna Soup can be a straightforward process when following these simple steps:

1. Cook the Meat: In a large pot, brown the ground beef (or sausage) over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
3. Add Broth and Marinara: Pour in the chicken broth and marinara sauce, stirring well to combine.
4. Incorporate Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the noodles are tender.
5. Stir in Cream: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.

By following these steps, you will have a warm and satisfying soup that captures all the essence of lasagna without the fuss.
