Lasagna Soup

If you like lasagna you will love this! My family prefers this soup to actual lasagna. The dollop of ricotta cheese mixture makes all the difference! Serve with some crusty French bread or garlicy bread sticks and you have an inviting meal that is easy to make and looks like Christmas in a bowl!
