HOW TO MAKE ONE POT LASAGNA SOUP

Step 1: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, saute the onions until translucent. Add in the beef and continue to cook until brown and crumbly, often stirring.

Step 2: Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for 30 seconds more or until fragrant. Drain excess grease.

Step 3: In the pot, pour in 6 cups chicken broth followed by Prego sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, crushed tomatoes, lasagna noodles, and spices. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the noodles are firm.

Step 4: Take the bay leaf out before stirring in the heavy cream.

Step 5: Add in another 3 to 4 cups chicken broth and stir until thickened.

Step 6: Before serving, garnish with more cheese. Enjoy!

Notes:

1. You can use pasta noodles. Although, I recommend using lasagna noodles instead as they have a nice bite.

2. In place of heavy cream, use cornstarch instead to make a lighter variety.
