Preparation
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in the broken lasagna noodles along with the Italian seasoning. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Lower the heat, then add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and allow the soup to lightly simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, according to your preference.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle extra Parmesan and fresh basil on top before serving.
Notes
For a lighter option, replace the heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based alternative like coconut cream. Make sure not to overcook the noodles; they should be al dente to maintain texture in the soup. Ensure the noodles are cooked before introducing the cream to prevent curdling. This soup can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen without cream for up to 2 months.
