Cooking Instructions

  • Heat a large pot with oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until veggies begin to soften.
  • Add meat and chicken sausage to the pot, breaking up into small pieces. Stir occasionally for 5-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  • Next add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add noodles and cook until soft, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking.
  • While soup is cooking, mix all topping ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
  • Allow soup to cool slightly and sauce to thicken before serving. Spoon soup into a bowl, add a dollop of topping and garnish with fresh basil and extra mozzarella or parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker soup, start with 5 cups of chicken broth. Regular lasagna noodles are recommended; avoid 'oven ready' varieties as they can become too soft. Allow the soup to thicken as it cools before serving, which takes at least 20 minutes.
