Recipes #190 & #191: Lasagna Soup in a Bread Bowl

I found the Lasagna recipe on pinterest, but is originally found here, thanks to the Deen brothers it is a lighter version of Paula Deen's recipe. However, I don't know how many calories we actually saved by using a bread bowl.
Anyways. First up, the bread bowl.
You need:
boule bread dough found here

• tear off smaller sections of dough then normal--a little bigger then a fist size
• allow to rest for 45 minutes
• bake for about 30 minutes
• cool for several minutes then cut off the top of the bread. scoop out some of the bread inside and leave on the plate to use to dip in soup

once bread is resting start the soup. 

For the Lasagna Soup you need:

1 Tbsp olive oil

3 italian sausages, casing removed

1/2 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, chopped up

sprinkle of red pepper flakes

16 oz of chicken broth (i used water and chicken bullion) 

1 can (8 oz) of tomato sauce

1 can of petite diced tomatoes with green chilies

4 whole wheat lasagna noodles, broken up

3/4 cup mozzarella cheese

sprinkle of parmesan and basil

• heat olive oil up in a pot. Add in chopped up onion and garlic
• Add sausages (casings removed) and mix up until sausage is crumbled and browned.
• add in chicken broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes
• stir. sprinkle in red pepper flakes.
• bring to a boil and the reduce heat to simmer.
• add in noodles and cook for 12-15 more minutes
• remove from heat and add cheeses

pour a some into the bread bowls and wish it was colder outside to really enjoy the nice warm, hearty soup! :)
