Fall = cooler temps = soup = Sausage Lasagna Soup.
With the time change and the cooler weather its soup time!! It’s gotta be easy and it’s gotta be yummy!
Lasagna is an Italian fav, I mean who doesn’t like lasagna? Full of tomatoes and cheese, with pasta, and cheese, and herbs, and did I say cheese.
So, I made this soup based on a recipe from Cooking Classy which I saw on ……where else, but Pinterest.
It looked delicious. I tweaked it with Italian sausage, and added red pepper flakes for a bit of spice. I changed up the tomatoes, and used stock instead of broth. But the star of this dish is the cheese topping.
After tasting the soup, I just didn’t get the lasagna taste? I was pretty sure it would be a nice Italian style soup, but I wasn’t going to use it for What the “Forks” for Dinner?
Then I added the topping, put it under the broiler………ta da!!!!!!! Now we have a lasagna soup!! The cheese mixture brought the soup together and made it Lasagna.
Add a nice tossed salad and breadstick or garlic bread……..Sausage Lasagna Soup…..it’s What the “Forks” for Dinner!!!!!
