After so many of you mentioned making the Lasagna Soup, but no one had mentioned it when we were critiquing the Soups Book, I checked out the soup in the Dec. '05 (Issue #54) and it's the same darn soup - except they dropped the can of tomato sauce.
But, the interesting part of this, checking the nutritional info on each??????? I'd love to know how they came up with these magic numbers...
per cup:
Issue 54 Lasagna soup - Cal: 214; fat: 12g; sodium:762mg; carb: 15g
Splendid Soups & Sides - Cal: 309; fat: 18g; sodium: 943mg; carb: 20g.
And the only difference? Splendid soups increased their count by omitting a 10 3/4 oz. can of tomato sauce...proof positive that nutritional info is sparkle dust grabbed from the sky.
Whatever - the soup is really good and I think the next time I'll just add the can of tomato sauce and let it be healthier...
The spiced Parmesan Twists are great with the soup! Overall, with the ambience of a foggy nite, I'd give this dinner an 8 1/2.
Soup Season is definitely here!
