• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, brown and crumble italian sausag along with the onion.
Add in garlic during the last couple of minutes of cooking so it doesn't burn.
Drain excess grease from the meat mixture.

Put meat back into the pot.
Stir in thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, brown sugar, chicken broth, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir well and bring mixture up to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and gently simmer for about 20 minutes.

Then add in broken lasagna noodles.
You'll need about 6 whole lasagna noodles to make about 2 cups broken.
Simmer until noodles are tender (about 10 or so minutes).
Then stir in Parmesan cheese.

Ladle soup into bowls. Then sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese and serve.
