Lasagna Soup

So I have a little extra time before Luke gets home from work....and I had to share my new recipe for tonight! Lasagna Soup!!! It's from Paula's Quick Fix Meals magazine and it's really good. I for one HATE regular Lasagna....too much cheese and gackiness for me. I hate the smell of it and everything. But, I have to say this soup is GOOD. I've already sampled some and it tastes really good....and it doesn't have all that nasty cheese!!!

Here's the Recipe:

Lasagna Soup:

1 lb. ground chuck

1 onion, chopped (I used half an onion)

1 green bell pepper, chopped (I used half a bell pepper)

3 cloves garlic, minced (just buy the jar stuff and put 2 small spoonfulls in)

1 (32 oz.) box Chicken Broth

2 (14.5 oz) petit diced tomatoes

1 (15oz) can tomato sauce

1 T. firmly packed brown sugar

2 tsp. Italian seasoning

1/2 t. salt

2 c. broken lasagna noodles

1 (5 oz can) Parmesan cheese (I only used a small spoonfull!!!)

Brown your meat with your onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Then add all the other ingredients. I also added 1 small can of chicken broth because I wanted it thinner, and since Luke is working late...it will have more time to cook down!! She has it in her recipe to put it oven proof bowls and top with Italian croutons and cheese....I'm not messing with all of that. We are going to top it with either Parmesan cheese or Cheddar Cheese. We also will have French Bread to go with it! This recipe is good!
