    Soup

    Crockpot

    This Lasagna Soup recipe came to us during a critical time in our lives.

Join the incredible flavors of lasagna with the amazing soupy-ness of SOUP!

    We have this at least once a week during the long winter days. My kids have even been known to ask for it for their special birthday meal. You cannot go wrong with this incredible dish.
