1 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 (32 ounce) box chicken broth

Garlic Crostini:
1 thin French baguette
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves smashed garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a large Dutch oven, combine ground chuck, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until beef is browned and crumbles. Drain well.
Stir in thyme, brown sugar, broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Add noodles, and simmer until noodles are tender. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into 8 to 10 ovenproof bowls. Evenly sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Broil soups, 6-inches from heat, 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly. Add a garlic crostini slice on top. Serve immediately.
For the garlic crostini:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut bread into 1/4-inch round slices. Place on baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; place in oven and bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Rub each side with smashed garlic cloves.

Tastes Like Lasagna Soup sounds very good. Even though it is starting to get warm in Virginia, I am going to try that soup. This sounds like a fast and easy meal to make. Thank you for the recipe. I have tried other recipes of yours and they are delicious. Also watch your show daily.

This looks yummy as most everything you make does. I wish the nutrition values and fat content were listed. It would be great if your recipes included that information! Love and God bless!

I love watching all the cooking shows, each has a unique personality. I am allergic to eggs and would love to make some of your dishes. I worry they won't stand up or stay together. Any helpful hints for me? You look so beautiful and healthy, how did you do it? Thank you for your show. Hugs

I make my own version of lasagna soup but it is much easier and gluten free. My husband loves your recipes so we may have to try it this way at some point.

Something different, yet familiar at the same time. My husband made this soup for me. Yes ladies, this recipie is "easy" for ALL! We had to leave out the green bell pepper, but it was still so good.

This dish is a staple for our family! I replace the ground chuck with Hot Italian Sausage, and we have tweaked things for our own liking. Great dish for a cold night!

SO good! My mom made this for me for a coming home dinner just two days ago and i HAVE to make it for the hubby tonight! It was so delicious! ![]()

This recipe is divine. I made a vegetarian version with Morningstar Crumbles and Vegetable Broth. The thyme really adds to the comfort food feeling. The only issue I had was that the recipe soaks up the liquid so mine ends up more like lasagna/chili texture as opposed to a soup each time I have prepared it. This may be due to the vegetarian version of the ingredients. Still tastes wonderful!

I figured out the calories of the entire pot of soup. I made a few adjustments to the recipe and the total calories in the meal are 2176. Depending on the size of the portion, I would estimate that each serving is between 200-300 calories.

made the soup with italian sausage and added 1cup carrots diced,fresh mushrooms,sliced, 2 cups fresh spinach and provolone cheese and fresh basil. placed the cheese on the bottom and poured soup on top. no need to use the broiler. Any pasta works,I made the pasta separate. yummy.

I just made this tonight with a little help from my four year old. It was so yummy that even he and his sister ate it and she is very picky! Thanks for a great recipe. In my recipe I already had two large cans of tomato sauce at home so I used them instead of the ones listed in the recipe. Great for our family.

Simply delicious and so easy to make! Would it be possible to provide the nutrition information for this recipe? Thanks,

I love almost every thing I have seen you make . The only thing that didnt make it was dishes made with bannas . Cant eat them . The people who have come out with the bad talk about the food you have made even befor or after the diabetes came out I feel that you have gotten a raw deal from people who ( dont) know how to think almost any recipes can be done to fit any life style . It makes me mad to here some people take down your food . I say keep on cooking and doing it your way . You are one of the greates . cooks out there . Your bigest fan . Deborah

I played around with the recipe a little. Used italian sausage rather than chuck and used jar of sauce but wow!!! This is yummy! My family ate every drop of it.
