By bklynmommy

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound of smoked sausage, casings removed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (32 ounce) container of chicken broth
• 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces of broken whole-wheat lasagna noodles (about 4 noodles)
• 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan.

2. Add the sausage and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is crumbled and browned, 8-10 minutes.

3. Add the broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.

4. Add the noodles, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly and the noodles are tender, 10-12 minutes.

5. Remove from heat, and stir in the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. If you desire, you can serve with parmesan cheese on top.
