Sadly, those questions were all too true until I finally tried lasagna soup. I quickly discovered there’s nothing to be afraid of, and now I plan to enjoy it often!

Originally, I planned to make the real thing sheets, sauce, the whole deal. However, I blinked, noticed it was already 5 p.m., so I said, “Nope.” Instead, I tossed everything into one big pot and hoped for the best.
Surprisingly, it turned out to be a total game-changer.
Because it’s got everything you love hearty meat, gooey cheese, rich tomato flavor but with way less effort. Plus, you can eat it in a bowl while snuggled under a blanket and watching your favorite show, which makes it a win-win.
