Lasagna Soup!

I’ve been wanting to make this soup for a long time, but just have never gotten around to it. I originally had lasagna on my menu this week, but 2 things changed my mind. I was on Pinterest today looking at soup recipes and lasagna soup was one of them. Then I searched lasagna soup and there are SO many recipes out there! And my twin sister posted that she made this soup 33 times!

Since I had all the stuff to make it – I switched plans and made this soup instead. I don’t know why I waited so long – this soup is AMAZING!!!! My whole family loved it – definitely making it again and I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow

My sister first got the recipe from THIS SITE and they got it from THIS SITE

If you haven't seen this soup sweeping the internet - you must try it - great for a weeknight meal (I made this start to finish in 40 minutes OR great for having friends over for dinner - you can easily double the recipe.

1. In a large soup pot - saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil for several minutes.
2. Add the bulk sausage and break up into small pieces, cooking until no longer pink.
3. Add the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the spices, chicken broth, tomatoes and bring to a boil.
5. Add the pasta and cook on medium heat until the pasta is done - about 15 minutes.
