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
