Lasagna Soup

 

This Lasagna soup is the ultimate in comfort food. It has all the cheesy-meaty goodness of lasagna with tender pieces of lasagna and a delicious tomato base that delivers all the flavours of lasagna without all the fuss.

 

 

I like to serve this soup to my family garnished with shredded mozzarella, but when I am serving to adult guests I also add a generous dollop of creamy ricotta cheese. It’s so good!
