Italian sausage: Use all Italian sausage for extra flavor. I recommend adding a tablespoon of beef bouillon, reducing the salt, then salting to taste. Turkey sausage: Swap the lean ground beef for turkey or chicken sausage. You may also use vegetable broth but it is not as flavorful. AMAZON DEVOUR MEALS PLUS
Bouillon broth: Use water plus chicken bouillon or chicken base to equal 8-10 cups broth.Pasta: Any small pasta shape will work.Heavy cream: This mellows the acidity while adding a subtle creaminess and thickness to the soup.
Red pepper flakes: A pinch of red pepper flakes adds an extra kick but will not make the soup spicy. Herbs and spices: This Lasagna Soup is seasoned to perfection with dried basil, thyme, oregano, and parsley, salt and a bay leaf. Chicken broth: Use low sodium chicken broth so the soup isn’t too salty. Tomato paste: Tip! Freeze leftover tomato paste by the tablespoon wrapped in parchment paper. They are highly prized for their sweet, intense tomatoey flavor and lower acidity. Crushed tomatoes: I recommend San Marzano tomatoes from the brands San Marzano, Cento and Muir Glen.
