Last week, I had a craving. I wanted lasagna, but I wanted soup. Haha, I’m kind of indecisive like that! So instead of making a decision on that menu, I decided to figure out a way to combine the two. The answer was chicken lasagna soup! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but it was actually pretty good. My only complaint was that I didn’t let the noodles cook long enough. I was in a hurry and decided to eat it before it was done. If I had to do it again, I’d either let it sit the full 30 minutes OR I’d boil them on the stove and make sure they were done in only 10 minutes. Especially if I plan to be impatient, as I tend to be when it comes to food!
This recipe made more than I was expecting. As you can see from the photo below, the whole 6 quart crock was almost all the way full. It’s a good thing, too, because I think we made pigs of ourselves that night!
If you decide to try it, let me know what you think! I always love hearing your reviews on recipes that you’ve tried of mine.
