Easy Lasagna Soup and Cheese Bread

Lasagna Soup and Cheese Bread

This is a super easy meal to make on a weeknight or for a party. All you have to do is brown the meat and dump in the ingredients.

Tonight we had our extended family over to try this delicious and easy recipe. We are big fans of lasagna and had this soup at a friends house a while back so I decided to make it for the family tonight. Needless to say this was a big hit that everyone loved.

To make this easy soup you start by browning ground beef with diced onion. 

Once the meat has browned drain off all of the fat before adding the rest of the ingredients. Add in garlic, chicken stock, your favorite pasta sauce, crushed tomatoes, and spices.

Bring this up to a simmer and add lasagna noodles that you have broken into pieces.

Now all you have to do is cover the pot and let this simmer for 20 to 30 minutes for the noodles to cook. While you are waiting for the noodles to cook, you can make one of my favorite cheese breads that one of our friends makes.

All you have to do is combine equal parts mayo and mozzarella cheese and spread over the bread and grate parmesan cheese over the top.

From here just pop the bread in the oven for 10 minutes on 350 degrees. For the last couple of minutes turn the oven on broil and enjoy!

I hope that you enjoy this easy lasagna soup and cheese bread as much as we did!
