Lasagna Soup

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. Ground beef
1 lb. Ground Italian sausage
10 Lasagna noodles
1 Onion chopped
24 oz. Jar of pasta sauce
4 tsp. Minced garlic
8 C. Chicken broth
2 Tbsp. Tomato paste
14 oz. Can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. Sugar
2 tsp. Balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. Basil
1 tsp. Oregano
1 Bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large pot placed over medium-heat, add the ground beef, sausage and onion. Cook these ingredients until they become brown. If there is any excess fat, drain it.
Place the pot back on the stove and add in garlic. Saute for 30 secs.
Add in all the remaining ingredients except for the noodles, cover the pot and bring to boil.
Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to your pot.
Lower the heat to medium-low and cook until the noodles are soft.
Add parmesan cheese, mozzarella, or ricotta on top.
Serve and enjoy!
NOTE:

You can serve your lasagna with garlic bread or breadsticks to soak it up in the sauce.
You can even serve it after you and your guests have a Caesar salad as an appetizer. This is going to give them some suspense to reach your lasagna.
