For the Alfredo Sauce:

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage & Vegetables
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground sausage, breaking it apart.

Step 2: Add the Broth & Noodles
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

- Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

Step 5: Combine the Alfredo Sauce & Soup

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with:

Notes
- Use fresh Parmesan for the smoothest, creamiest texture.
- If the soup thickens after cooling, add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
- Swap sausage for shredded chicken for a lighter version.
- For a vegetarian option, use white beans or sautéed mushrooms instead of meat.
- Can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta and a cornstarch-based Alfredo sauce.
