Week 186: Lasagna Soup

Hello :-)

Hard to believe but another year has passed and Soup(er) has reached its 5 year anniversary!! These years have flown by and I continue to be blown away by how many of you allow me into your home each week to feed your family. This fills my heart and soul with such joy, my deepest thanks to all of you.

And while this year I might be acknowledging this milestone a little late thanks to my bum ankle, when I celebrate the anniversary I like to serve the first soup I made for customers.

On the menu for TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd is LASAGNA SOUP with ITALIAN HERB BREAD. You get all the flavors of a delicious hearty lasagna in a comforting soup. It’s loaded with Italian sausage, tomatoes, fresh herbs and a melty cheese garnish that takes it over the top.

The soup begins with sautéing Italian sausage, red peppers, onions and garlic in the pot with a little olive oil. Once the sausage is crumbled and veggies are soft, homemade chicken stock, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and spices are added. After the soup begins to boil, broken lasagna noodles are dropped in.

After the noodles finish cooking, the soup is garnished with fresh basil and parsley as well as a generous dollop of mixed lasagna cheeses that melt perfectly into the hot soup. The Italian sausage can be omitted if preferred, just add a note to your order or text/email your request.

The bread companion is my Italian Herb Bread. Since we're eating lasagna, we must eat my Italian Herb Bread. The fresh herbs in the bread will taste fantastic dipped into this flavorful soup.

On the menu for dessert are OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES.  As a staple cookie in any baker's kitchen, my version will certainly not disappoint! These cookies are made with brown sugar, vanilla (a whole TBSP!), cinnamon, chewy oats, sweet raisins, and a secret ingredient that creates a soft and chewy cookie! They have moist and tender centers, with a slight crisp on the edges. -  Jenny from Jenny Sue Delights
