Lasagna Soup Dianne Style
When I saw the recipe from fellow Marylanders for Lasagna Soup on Culinary in the Country I knew I'd have to make a version of it with my own twist using the ingredients I use when I make actual lasagna. Tonight I finally got around to trying it tonight! My version is below. Alexis and I loved it!
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
8 large button mushrooms, chopped
A pinch of sea salt
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of dried oregano
A pinch of dried basil
1 - 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
1 - 16 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/2 a carton of vegetable broth
8 ounces of fusilli pasta
Mozzarella, cubed
Parmesan cheese, shredded
In a large stockpot sauté onion, green pepper, mushrooms and garlic until tender with sea salt, black pepper, oregano and basil. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and broth and stir. Cook for at least 1 hour. (I like soup that cooks for a while. It makes the flavors come together.) Add pasta and cook until tender.
To serve soup:
Put several cubes of mozzarella on the bottom of your bowl and top with soup. Then add Parmesan to the top of the soup and enjoy!

Luckily Alexis likes to help me in the kitchen and she's really good at it so it makes it easier to cook. She's getting very good at measuring things in terms of I can give her a teaspoon and tell her "Add 3 teaspoons for Mommy" or give her a measuring cup and tell her "I need 2 cups of that". She can't tell them apart yet, but she enjoys doing it when I give here the right tools. She also LOVES stir and mix things so it keeps her out of trouble and allows me to get things done! LOL :o)
