This is one of our favorite soups--so yummy!
Lasagna Soup
1 lb. ground beef (can also used ground turkey)
1 small onion, chopped (I use 1 tsp. onion powder)
1 large garlic clove, minced (I use 1 tsp. of the minced garlic in a jar)
1 large can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
3 C. chicken broth ( I use chicken bouillon and water)
1 C. water
1 beef bouillon cube
1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (I don't use too much because it's pretty spicy)
1/2 box (3 cups) medium shells
cottage cheese
Brown beef with onion and garlic. Drain fat. Add the rest of the ingredients except the shells and cottage cheese. Heat to a boil and then reduce heat. Add shells and simmer uncovered until noodles are tender, about 20-30 minutes. Serve warm with cottage cheese on top.
