Yes we are still on January recipes haha.

A favorite in dinner rotation- Lasagna Soup made it's first appearance of 2017 already. 2 batches of it. We were going to see the Q at OSU and I wanted to make some for he and the roomies. 

This will be the 4th post of this recipe and it is amazing every time.

Lasagna Soup

Ingredients

1 lb Sweet Italian Sausage/ or Ground Beef (or both is what we do)

15-20 oz Tomato Sauce

6 oz Tomato Paste

32 oz Chicken Stock (or more if you want it soupier) 

Minced Garlic

Garlic & Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper

Pasta

Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese for after plating

1. Brown the meat, on Medium/High heat, in a large Stockpot/Dutch Oven. Drain excess grease.

2. Add Minced Garlic and cook until fragrant- 1-2 minutes. DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC. 

3. Add the tomato sauce, paste and seasonings, Mix well. Add the liquid and bring to a boil.

4. Lower the heat to simmer, cover and cook for 30-60 minutes. 

5. Make your pasta. I prefer fun pasta shapes. 

6.. Ladle into bowls, top with a dollop of Ricotta Cheese and sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top. If you have Oven safe bowls you could add the cheese then melt in the oven on broil.
