Notes
You can use any small shaped pasta in place of the lasagna noodles just use about 2 ½ cups. The lasagna noodles really give it that authentic texture. Also, if you are making ahead of time it would be a good idea to boil the lasagna noodles separately and then add them before eating. The lasagna noodles really soak up the liquid if they sit in the soup for a while. You can add some beef broth if you need to thin it out.
