Lasagna Soup

If you’ve got some leftover pasta sauce…or not…Lasagna Soup is the recipe you need to make!

This dish is everything you love about lasagna with about half the work & in half the time.

And if you really want to make it special, get you some of those fancy mafaldine lasagna looking noodles instead of breaking up lasagna sheets. I promise they make it taste even better! #LetsVibe
