What Makes This Lasagna Soup Recipe The Best?
This lasagna soup is much heartier and creamier than what you're used to. It's not super brothy, but that tomato broth packs intense flavor. There's something special abut savory sausage coming together with a sauté of garlic and onion. It's magic in a bowl. After just one spoonful, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Minimal Ingredients & Maximum Flavor
- Sausage: This recipe uses ground Italian sausage— either mild or hot. Since my 2.5 year old eats this, I stick with the mild and add in some red pepper flakes in my bowl.
- Onion: Grab a sweet onion for this recipe. It has more of a mild flavor.
- Garlic: Using fresh garlic adds another layer of flavor.
- Spices: This recipe gets most of its flavor from the parsley, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
- Crushed Tomatoes: Grab a 28-ounce can of your favorite brand of tomatoes. Here's the brand that I use, always the best flavor.
- Chicken Broth: This recipe uses low-sodium chicken broth, but regular can be use
- Lasagna Noodles: You want to make sure to using the boil lasagna noodles, not the bake ready noodles.
