Lasagna Soup!

If you’re going to make soup, and I hope you are, this version will make you a star! Everyone loves lasagna, and this pretty much “soupifies” all those wonderful flavors — the tender ricotta plopped into the middle, the chewy sausage, the al dente noodles, the sweet tomatoes. You won’t be able to talk while you’re eating it. That’s how good it is.
