Tastes Like Lasagna Soup

Today is the last day of soup week, and we are ending with a good one. I adapted the recipe from one I found on pauladeen.com. It’s called Tastes Like Lasagna Soup, and it really does taste just like lasagna. This soup is full of flavor. Add a tossed salad with some bread, and you’re set. I highly recommend divine breadsticks, garlic herb bread, or easy peasant bread with this soup.
Also, a heads up for next week. All week long, I’ll be talking about Thanksgiving dinner. I will have a different Thanksgiving dish each day that will help take your meal from beginning to end. I will also be taking part in a Virtual Progressive Thanksgiving dinner with some other bloggers. Each day, I will let you know who is hosting so you can check out their part of the meal too. I will be hosting the “virtual dinner” at my blog on Wednesday. Other blogs taking part include Food For My Family, Simple Bites, Eat at Home, Unsophisticook, and Hoosier Homemade.
