Lasagna Soup

This is a simple soup to make for the cold winter days.  It's quite yummy too!

1 pound ground beef

5 cups water

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

1/2 cup diced onion

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon basil

salt and pepper to taste

3/4 cup mozzerella cheese
1/2 pkg spiral noodles cooked.

Directions

In a large pot over medium heat, cook and stir the ground beef until evenly brown; drain.

Mix the water, tomatoes, onion, and garlic into the pot with the beef. Season with basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.

Stir in some noodles to individual soup bowls and top with cheddar cheese.

**I find that if you put the noodles in with the entire soup and you have left overs...the noodles get too soggy.**
