Method
 

Cooking the Soup
  1. In a large dutch oven or saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and olive oil.
  2. Add the chopped mushrooms and onions. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the vegetables and cook until they are soft.
  3. Next, add the ground sausage and the ground turkey or beef. Cook until the meat is browned.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  5. Then, mix in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning blend. Bring the mixture to a low simmer.
  6. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook until they are tender. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
  7. When everything is done, serve the lasagna soup with a dollop of ricotta cheese and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Slow Cooker Instructions
  1. Brown the meat and sauté the vegetables first, then add all the ingredients (except the lasagna noodles and cheeses) into the slow cooker.
  2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  3. Add the noodles and cheeses during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Notes

Customize with additional vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. For a vegetarian option, substitute meat with lentils or chickpeas.
