What Is Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup?
This dish is a creamy, cheesy soup that features all the flavors of white-sauce lasagna—tender pasta, savory meat or veggies, rich Alfredo-style broth, and plenty of melted cheese. Unlike traditional lasagna that requires baking and layering, this soup comes together in a single pot with much less effort but all the flavor.
Ingredients You’ll Need:

1/2 pound ground chicken, turkey, or sausage (optional for protein)

How to Make It:
