- Add Prego Sauce, 6 cups chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, sugar, spices, bay leaf and lasagna noodles. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until lasagna noodles are tender, stirring occasionally (approximately 20-30 minutes).
- Discard bay leaf and stir in heavy cream (optional) and 2-4 cups chicken broth to reach desired consistency. Garnish individual servings with desired amount of cheeses.
Notes
*Lasagna noodles can be replaced with 2 ½ cups uncooked small shells if desired. **If you want to omit heavy cream but want a thicker soup, whisk 2 teaspoons cornstarch with some chicken broth and add to the soup to simmer and thicken.
