Pin-fluenced: Lasagna soup

Soups and bread are my Achille's heel.  If bread makes me weak in the knees, soup and bread makes me keel over in ecstasy.  So when I stumbled on to this recipe for lasagna soup on Pinterest, there was no question that it was going to get made in my kitchen.

Ingredients:
- Ground beef
- Canned tomatoes
- Tomato paste
- Vegetables (onions, zuchini, bell peppers...)
- Broth
- Lasagna noodles
-Spices... pretty much whatever's in the pantry
-Parmesan cheese
-Basil

What to do:

1. Brown the meat & drain the fat.  Add in onions & vegetables.  Add spices (Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper... whatever else suits the mood)
2. Add in half a can of tomato paste and cook until everything melds together.
3. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and the canned broth.  Add about 2 cans of hot water to make it very soupy.  Turn on the heat and let the pot come to a boil.
4. Break in lasagna noodles.  Simmer for 20-30 minutes until sauce is thickened and pasta is cooked through.
5. Stir in parmesan & basil.
6. Enjoy with a crusty slice of bread!
