Lasagna Soup

I found some Tofurky Spinach Pesto sausages at Ward's the other day. I had already printed this Lasagna Soup recipe to add my own twist to. This is my version of yummy, filling, flavorful soup.
  • 1 package Tofurky Spinach Pesto Sausage, torn into chunks
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces rotini, uncooked
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, crushed
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 14 ounces tomato sauce
  • 12 cups water
  • 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
  • 4 cups chopped spinach 

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the sausage, onions, bell pepper and garlic and cook for 10-12 minutes. I like to cook it til the sausage starts to get some brown color to it.

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices and bouillon cubes.

Bring to a low boil and add water. Low boil for 15 minutes.

Bring the soup to a boil and add the rotini pasta. Cook according to packaged directions. Add the spinach and only cook for 5-10 minutes.

 Serve with some crusty bread and enjoy!

  1. This looks like such a delicious soup! I'll definitely be willing to try this; what other veggie-friendly meats do you think would go well with this? I was never a fan of turkey meat.

    1. Adi, thanks for dropping by. Tofurky is the name brand --it's vegan meat. Any vegan Italian Sausage or spicy sausage type would work. Let me know if you try it.
      Take care,
      Gloria
