I have been wanting to make O'Charley's potato soup for weeks and have been too lazy to buy the ingredients.

Lasagna Soup!
Ingredients
1 lb bulk Italian sausage
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup carrot, diced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup mafalda pasta or campenelle pasta
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup provolone cheese or fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (for garnish)
4 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh basil (for garnish)
Directions
1 Brown sausage in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots; saute 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and garlic, and saute another 3 minutes.
2 Add broth, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce, and bring to a boil. Drop in pasta and simmer until cooked, about 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
3 Place 1/4 cup cheese into serving bowls and pour soup on top. Garnish with Parmesan and basil.

• I of course adapted it to my tastes.
• I used Ground Pork AND Beef.
• I used 6 cans of chicken broth
• I used the LARGE can of DICED tomotoes.
• I used dried basil mixed in the soup.
• I used Natural Cheese Crumbles b/c I couldn't find provolone and this town didn't have Fresh Mozzeralla.
• I used Piccolini® Mini Farfalle b/c I couldn't find the mafalda pasta or campenelle pasta in this town either.
• I used maybe a half tsp of minced garlic.
• No onion.
• I used One large can of mushroom pieces and stems.
• and I used Shredded Carrots - they cooked faster.
• And FROZEN chopped spinach. -
• I divided it up and took a bowl to my neighbors. When I was putting it in my bowls for the freezer - I thought it needed more juice to make it soupier so I added a LARGE can of CRUSHED tomatoes.

Wow, does that ever sound yummy! I could eat soup every day of the week, warm weather or not. I'm definitely going to make this recipe.

it IS yummy!
I added some sweetner as well, b/c I like a sweeter tomato taste.
