Lasagna Soup

"Just as soon as autumn gets into full swing and we start to sense those cool winter breezes on the horizon, our thoughts turn to one thing and one thing only: comfort foods. (All right, fine, one category of things, we suppose). Creamy pastas, steamy casseroles, hearty soups—we simply can’t get enough of them when the weather starts to get a little chilly. And this year, we may have just concocted the comfort food of all comfort foods: Trader Joe’s Lasagna Soup with Turkey. Combining elements from some of our all-time favorite comfort food classics (Cheese! Pasta! Savory-seasoned Turkey!) all into one superlatively savory, rib-sticking Soup, this is a real game-changer for the Trader Joe’s refrigerated section. And it’s available from the late fall to the very end of winter—you know, comfort food season. Each batch of our Lasagna Soup with Turkey starts with a creamy, savory-seasoned tomato broth, to which our supplier adds al dente mafalda pasta (which are a bit like miniature strips of Lasagna noodles), ground Turkey crumbles, and a bit of Asiago and Romano cheese. After a few minutes in the microwave or on the stovetop, this soup is steamy, aromatic, and totally ready to serve. It makes an easy entrée, especially when paired with some crusty bread or a light green salad (or both!), and really adds some comfy-cozy oomph when served as a side to any wintry, weeknight meal."
