Lasagna Soup with Crockpot Chicken
I don’t know about you, but whenever I buy lasagna noodles there’s always broken noodles inside. Or I will buy 2 boxes to make lasagna, but will only use 1 1/2 of the boxes. Which is not enough to make another lasagna down the road. If this is also you, or you love lasagna, this recipe is for you. Also whenever I buy lasagna noodles I always buy the oven ready ones. Lets be real, they're so convenient. One- you don’t need to dirty another pot to boil them. TWO- no boil equals less time in the kitchen. Pro Tip: I had leftover homemade pesto (from my ebook) and I didn’t want it to go to waste before our vacation so I threw it in the soup. That is one of many things I love about soup. It can be a throw all, so you don’t waste ingredients! This is optional, but I do advise adding it cause the flavor was amazing!
