So, the truth is, I don’t even like Italian food very much. It’s never really been my thing, although my family will put away some spaghetti like nobody’s business. But you know I have MAD LOVE for soups, you guys! Big hearty stews, warm-up-your-tummy chowders, chicken noodle from a can – I love them all. And this soup turned out fantastic! All my kids slurped it up, and I’ll bet yours will too. I just threw this all together from things I had in the pantry, so feel free to adapt it to suit your needs! Here is my no-recipe Lasagna Soup Recipe!
I already had about a pound of browned ground beef and sausage from another recipe, so that’s what I started with. I also included sauteed garlic, lots of chicken stock, canned tomatoes, three kinds of cheese, and lots of seasonings. It came together in a snap!
It was super good with a little mozzarella on top! Here are the details.
