This is a meal in itself. It doesn't need salad.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Italian sausage in this lasagna soup recipe provides heartiness and is the base for the layers of flavor. Onions and garlic marry in flavor and are a nice contrast to sweet carrots. There is just the right amount of pasta, so it feels like a soup but gives a lasagna feel. Layering the cheeses also gives the feel of lasagna. We garnished this hearty and flavorful lasagna soup with fresh basil and served it with garlic knots. A comforting meal!
