Lasagna Soup
If you live in any other part of the country besides the southeast, you are probably experiencing winter weather. Charleston, SC on the other hand is experiencing very WARM spring-like weather (Ugh). This is why I have decided to crank down my air conditioner, turn on some Christmas carols, and make some hot, yummy lasagna soup to warm the soul. Once again, it is an easy, quick recipe.
Lasagna Soup:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (I used 93/7)
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves (fresh), chopped
2 cups mushrooms
1 cup carrots, chopped
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1- 10oz can Italian style stewed tomatoes
14 oz tomato sauce, low sodium
2 cups bow tie pasta (or whatever kind of pasta you have around)
1 Tbsp basil (I used dried)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cups spinach
Italian cheese for toppings, reduced fat
Prep:
Brown meat in large pot. Add in onions, carrots, mushrooms, basil, italian seasoning, and garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Add in pasta and let cook for about 8 minutes. Turn down heat to medium and add in spinach. Let wilt. I let mine sit for about 10 minutes so that the pasta really soaks up the tomato sauce and broth. You can eat whenever the spinach wilts or you can let it sit and simmer. Serves 6-8. Top with fresh mozzarella or italian shredded cheese. Enjoy on your cold (A/C) winter night!
