This Venison Lasagna Soup is one of the best soups I have ever made. It is just absolutely fantastic!
This recipe serves about 8 people and my husband and I ate the whole thing. A lot of the flavor in this recipe comes from my Italian Sausage recipe. I cannot stress enough how good that recipe is.
You can easily make this recipe in a stockpot for quicker results. However, I like my sausage to flavor up the sauce-y soup mixture for several hours. I think it creates a better flavor, but if you are in a pinch, where it says add everything to a crockpot, add it to a stockpot and bring it to a boil. Then add your spinach and noodles. Cook until the spinach is wilted and your noodles are soft. Voila!
This recipe is just good food. It will warm you up and taste good too.Â
And the cheese!! THE CHEESE IS AMAZING! Load your bowl up! Don’t be shy!!
I hope your family enjoys this Venison Lasagna Soup as much as mine!
