Lasagna Soup

A new family favorite with just enough heat. A great meal to make ahead and freeze. Talk about comfort food. My grocery store is usually a hit and miss with hot Italian sausage, so if I cannot find it already ground, I buy the sausage links, remove the casings and weigh it out.

Ingredients:

• 1lb hot Italian sausage (casings removed)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 28 oz can of whole tomatoes
• 1 (14 oz) can of tomato sauce
• 1 900ml (32oz) container of low sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 4 whole-wheat lasagna noodles, broken up
• 3-4 tablespoons dried basil 
• Salt & pepper
• Grated parmesan cheese
• Mozzarella cheese

Directions:

In a large pot, over medium-high heat add Italian sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook and stir until Italian sausage is fully cooked (about 10-12 minutes).

Add the can of whole tomatoes and with a potato masher, crush the tomatoes. Discard the tomato skin. Then add the tomato sauce, chicken broth and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for half an hour, stirring occasionally. 

Add the lasagna noodles and bring to a boil. Add the basil and then reduce the soup to a simmer and cook for another twenty minutes.

Service hot with grated Parmesan cheese and mozzarella.

Can't wait to get a camera so I can stop with
