Cucumber Tomato Salad – This crisp, refreshing cold salad would be a great side with warm soup.

Garlic Bread – My recipe for the BEST garlic bread is perfect beside, or even dipped right into lasagna soup.

INGREDIENTS + SUBSTITUTIONS
Ground Beef – I used ground beef to replicate the traditional lasagna flavors. You can also use ground turkey or chicken. I always go for a lean beef option, but just know that if you choose ground beef with a high fat content you may need to get rid of some of the grease after browning.
Italian Sausage – Ground Italian sausage adds so much flavor. Make sure you choose an uncooked sausage, not pre-cooked links. Italian sausage can come in sweet, mild, or spicy, so make sure you choose one your family will like.
Onion & Garlic – Use four cloves of fresh garlic and one whole onion. I like how yellow tastes in this recipe, but you can use white onion or shallots if you’d like.
Tomato Sauce – You’ll need two 15 ounce cans or one large 28.5 ounce can of unflavored tomato sauce. It may also be called tomato puree.
Diced Tomatoes – One can of diced tomatoes add texture and enhances the lasagna flavor. I prefer Italian seasoned tomatoes but you can use plain. You may need to add more Italian seasoning to the soup if you do. If you can’t find diced, look for chopped or crushed instead.
Italian Seasonings – You can easily mix up your own Italian seasoning mix from pantry staples, or keep things quick and simple with a store bought Italian herb blend.
