• Olive oil: This is for the browning of the meat in a large skillet or pot. It locks in more flavor over top of the sausage.
• Onion: Dice the onion into small pieces to saute with the sausage and garlic.
• Garlic: Minced garlic adds that Italian taste.
• Sausage: Make this extra Italian with sausage or a more American traditional ground beef.
• Chicken stock: This liquid is perfect for adding a light liquid to the soup. You can even use chicken broth or beef broth.
• Tomatoes: Both petite diced tomatoes with juice and tomato paste are used for the Italian flavor and base. It is a rich sauce that helps add the traditional Italian flavoring.
• Seasoning: Italian seasoning is a mixture of several seasonings combined together.
• Herbs: Oregano and fresh basil are all added to the soup. It is the perfect combination of Italian when using fresh herbs.
• Lasagna: Since this is a soup, you will break up the lasagna noodles into bite-size or a little bigger. This is easier to enjoy in your soup and you do not have to cut into the soup.
• Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese are added to the soup giving it that cheesy, stringy look.
