Lasagna Soup

This delicious and comforting recipe for Lasagna Soup comes from a great website, $5 Dinners. Many thanks to Erin for a tasty and economical dinner recipe. You can find many more on her website. Serve with cheesy garlic bread and a green salad.

My notes: I omitted the bay leaves since I didn’t have any on hand. I also used a mix of Italian herbs as a substitute for the oregano and basil.
