Lasagna Soup

One of my favorite things about cool fall weather and the transition from hot, dry days to blustery, crisp days is being able to make soup for dinner. I LOVE soups and stews and if I had it my way, I would eat soup three-four times a week. Dustin isn’t as big of a soup fanatic as I am, but is a good sport when I announce to him that I’m making soup AGAIN for dinner.

Anyway, I wanted to stray away from traditional chicken noodle soup and try something new. I found this recipe on pinterest and immediately knew I had to try it. First of all, I make a killer lasagna (not to toot my own horn, but it’s awesome). Second of all, I love my killer lasagna, but it can be time consuming to make so I loved that this would give us all of the same flavors but in a faster way!

So, with using the pinterest recipe as inspiration, I whipped up a big pot of Lasagna soup. Dustin even cleaned his whole bowl! I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes lasagna and soup. The recipe may look complex and lengthy, but it’s really just a bunch of different herbs and cheeses to add flavor!

I seasoned the soup myself instead of using a premade sauce like Prego (which you could substitute in, if you wanted). I was a little apprehensive and unsure if I would be able to duplicate a layered flavor in the sauce, but it turned out pretty good! Here are the spices I used in my sauce/broth:
I used a variety of tomatoes and broths to make the soup more “soupy”
Also, break up the lasagna noodles before you cook them!
One tip to try out is to saute your onions in your beef fat! That way you don’t have to worry about draining it! And you can always substitute ground beef for something a bit healthier, like ground turkey!
