Lasagna Soup Recipe

This January is one of the coldest I can remember. Sure we’ve had windchills below zero, before,but the actual temperature here hit -5 this week!

This type of weather makes me crave warm, comforting food. Personally I can’t think of anything more warming than soup or comforting than lasagna.

Why not put them together into one delicious meal? Bam Lasagna Soup was born!
