Lasagne Soup

I saw this soup so many times on different Internet platforms and was seldom excited.

They often looked less appetizing. Today I wanted soup and pasta and remembered the deconstructed lasagne in soup form. The only ingredient to buy was the ground pork/beef. All other ingredients were at home. 

The unopened box of lasagne sheets was sitting on top of my kitchen cupboard for a very long time. I wanted some fresh veggies in the soup. Not only canned tomatoes. 

Recipe for 2:

250 g ground pork/beef

1 tbsp olive oil

5 garlic cloves, 1 large yellow onion

2 medium carrots, 1 red long pepper

1 can crushed tomatoes

650 ml beef/ veg stock

Oregano, majoram, thyme, Toscana seasoning blend, Arrabita seasoning blend, pepper

7 lasagne sheets

50 g grated Gouda/Mozzarella

30 g parsley

2 tbsp creme fraiche

Heat up the oil and toss in the meat and brown it. Add chopped onion and garlic and the seasoning.

Next comes the carrots and the red pepper. Add the stock and the canned tomatoes.

Let it come up to boil and cover and reduce the heat and cook for 12 min.

Break the lasagne sheets in pieces and put them in the soup. I used some that did not need precooking. They were done in the soup in 6 minutes. Check your box of lasagne for cooking advice.

Put a hand full of cheese and the chopped parsley in the soup and serve with a bit of creme fraiche.
