Lasagna Soup (Lasagna soup)

Overview

Lasagna soup is an American soup with all the flavours of lasagna in a bowl. Italian sausage or minced beef is browned with onion and garlic, then simmered with crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, oregano and basil. Broken lasagna sheets are cooked directly in the soup until tender. Each bowl is topped with a spoonful of creamy ricotta mixed with parmesan and a handful of melted mozzarella, which melt into the hot tomato broth. It is quicker and easier than baking a lasagna, and it is a popular family dinner in cold weather. Many cooks make it in one pot or in a slow cooker or pressure cooker.
