Lasagna Soup

I had this at a progressive dinner our ward did (for those who were there, it was at Carolyn's house) and it's delicious!

"Freakin' Good" Lasagna Soup - Mandy Peterson
2 lb. ground beef
2 small onions, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced or crushed
2 15 oz. cans tomato sauce
2 28 oz. cans italian style tomatoes
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 beef bouillon cubes
6 chicken bouillon cubes
8 cups water
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried thyme
6-8 lasagna noodles, cooked and cut into pieces
mozzarella cheese, shredded
cottage cheese

Brown ground beef, onion and garlic. Drain fat. Add tomatoes (I chop up my tomatoes before I put them in), tomato sauce, bouillon cubes, water, seasonings. Heat to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes. Add lasagna noodles; continue cooking about 15-20 minutes. Serve hot with a dollop of cottage cheese and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Update

We have been very busy! We have moved, but we still live in the same great neighborhood full of kids to play with. Sergio has felt the baby kick. We taught Riley to say baby and he has started going to Nursery. Riley is growing up so fast, talking alot and doing more and more each day. He says Mama or Mom all day long now. He now comes and kisses my stomach and laughs at my dissapearing belly button. The baby is coming soon and we're looking forward to having another little boy in the the house.
