Lasagna Soup
Kristen W
1 lb. ground sausage/beef/turkey (turkey Italian sausage recipe works great here)
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 c. diced carrots
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 30-oz can crushed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 c. broth (chicken, beef, veggie, or a combo)
1 16-oz box bowtie pasta
Topping:
1 c. cottage cheese
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. dried basil
pinch of pepper
Cook sausage, onion, carrots, and garlic for a few mins until meat is cooked and carrots start to soften. (If using already cooked sausage, saute the rest and then add the sausage.) Add remaining soup ingredients (not topping) and stir well to combine. Allow soup to cook until pasta is soft and carrots are cooked through.
Serve with topping sprinkled on top, option to top with thin sliced fresh mozzarella.
Great for breadsticks!
**You can also cook with sliced zucchini, or toss in cut spinach at the end.
