Lasagna Soup
Think yummy, hearty lasagna but in a comforting bowl of hot soup! Restaurant taste quality but so easy and quick to make.
Ingredients
- 1 LB Mild Italian Sausage Ground Meat
- 2 TBS Olive Oil for sautéing
- 1 Onion finely diced
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1/4-1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes according to your spice preference
- 1 tsp Salt
- Pepper to taste
- 2.5 TBS Tomato Paste
- 1 Can Roasted Tomatoes
- 8.5 Cups Chicken Stock or Broth I make my own "Better than Bouillon" Broth
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 8 Oz. Rotini Pasta
- 1/4 Tsp Basil
- 1 16 Oz. Block Mozzarella Cheese shredded, to top the soup
- 1 16 Oz. Block Parmesan Cheese shredded, to top the soup
- Sour Cream optional, to top the soup
Instructions
- If making your own chicken bouillon; fill a medium pot with 8.5 cups filtered water and bring it to a boil. When it comes to a boil, turn burner off and add 8.5 tsp of "Better Than Bouillon Chicken" paste. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large frying pan, heat 2 TBS olive oil. Add the ground mild Italian sausage meat and cook, mixing, for about 5 minutes. Then add the finely chopped onion and cook another 3-5 minutes until onion is soft and sausage meat is cooked through and browned.
- Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Then add 1 tsp salt, sprinkle some pepper, and about 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you prefer, I do 1/4 tsp). Add 2.5 TBS Tomato Paste. Mix thoroughly. Add the can of roasted tomatoes. Turn burner off and let it simmer for a few minutes, then mix.
- Transfer everything from the frying pan to the pot of chicken bouillon (or chicken stock) and bring to a boil. Add 2 bay leaves. Turn down to low and let it simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes turn up to medium and add 1/4 tsp basil. Add the pasta to the soup and let it cook until pasta is soft and cooked through (about 10-15 minutes). Be careful not to overcook the pasta.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish each bowl of soup with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, according to your preferences. Add sour cream (optional).
