Lasagna Soup

1 pound Ground Turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp Red Pepper Flakes (can omit if you want)
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 Cups Chicken Broth
4 TBSP Tomato Paste
1 can diced tomatoes
1-2 cups Any Smart Taste OR Dream Fields Noodles
(these two brands have higher fiber content than all other noodles so they balance out better than regular pasta.)

1/2 cup Cottage cheese
1/4 cup Shredded  Italian Cheese
 (this makes enough topping for 4 cups/bowls)

Brown the turkey meat in your stock pot (or the REALLY big pot you have in your cabinet)
Add your onions and garlic and cook til onions are translucent.
Add you seasonings, chicken broth, tomatoes, and tomato paste.  Stir together and bring to a boil.
Add your noodles and simmer for 10-20 minutes OR until noodles are cooked to your desired liking.

PREHEAT your oven to 375*
Place 1-2 cups (depending on your cup/bowl size) of soup into OVEN SAFE cups/bowls
Mix cottage cheese and cheese together and put a spoonful of mixture on top of the soup.
Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top
(*May want to place your cups/bowls onto a cookie sheet to avoid spillage)
Put in the oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted
YUM~!



I found this recipe on pinterest and changed it to my liking and needs.  I changed the meat to turkey, oregano to Italian seasoning, added more tomato paste, type of noodles, etc.   So you can change any of the ingredients to make it your own, too.

It was great for a cold night.
(and I don't think it was half bad for us on a nutritional level either!)
