OMG! I whipped up this soup for a party, and it was gone before I knew it.

Alfredo Lasagna Soup is a delightful twist on two beloved classics, bringing together the creamy, comforting flavors of Alfredo sauce with the hearty, layered goodness of lasagna. This dish is perfect for those chilly Midwestern evenings when you crave something warm and satisfying. It’s a recipe that reminds me of the cozy kitchens of my childhood, where my mother would often experiment with different ways to bring comfort to our table. This soup is a hug in a bowl, combining the rich history of Italian-American cuisine with the simplicity and heartiness we cherish in the Midwest.

This soup pairs beautifully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, which helps to cut through the richness of the Alfredo base. A side of crusty garlic bread or warm dinner rolls is perfect for soaking up every last drop of the creamy broth. For a touch of freshness, consider serving with a small bowl of mixed olives or a platter of sliced fresh tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
