Lasagna Soup
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Notes from the Test Kitchen:
The seasoning in this soup is perfect. The fresh veggies, tomatoes and Italian sausage are very flavorful. Layering the cheeses really makes this delicious. We used mozzarella on the bottom. Add crusty bread and you have a comforting dinner!
