Lasagna Soup

My neighbor made this for me after Ella was born and we literally ate it daily until it was gone. It is super yummy!

Lasagna Soup

Ingredients:

1 pound Italian sausage (We use ground beef. Sausage makes Drew nervous)
1 onion, diced
2 cups carrots, chopped
1 cup mushroom (optional)
2 cups chopped spinach
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (14 ounce cans) chicken broth
2 (14 ounce cans) Italian stewed tomatoes, or Petite Diced tomatoes (with the seasoning in the can)
1 (8 ounce can) tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 box of pasta (we used the mini bow tie)
mozzarella cheese

On stove top, brown sausage. Add onion and and carrot and saute for about 2 minutes. If you are using the crock pot, add all ingredients (except pasta and spinach). Cook on low for 4 hours. Add pasta and spinach for the last 30 minutes of cooking time. If cooking on stove top, add all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30-45. Then add pasta and spinach for another 10 minutes, or until pasta is cooked al dente. Top with mozzarella cheese.
