Lasagna Soup

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (32-ounce) container chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 ounces broken whole-wheat lasagna noodles (about 4 noodles)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick saucepot or Dutch oven.

Add the ground meat, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat browned, 8 – 10 minutes. 
Add the broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salt, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.

Add the noodles; 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. Remove from the heat; stir in mozzarella, basil, and the Parmesan.
