Donna Lasagna Soup

---

I found this on an italian website and fell in love with it! i am a fan of pasta e fagioli and this is kind of similar, yet different. it makes a hearty soup; and last time i made it i wanted a thinner broth, so i added three 14.5 ounce cans of chicken broth and used davinci gnocchi noodles instead of lasagna noodles. the fresh mozzarella is a must -- don't substitute shredded! you will fall in love!
