Guys.

It was 40 degrees F in Chicago today! That’s basically t-shirts and shorts weather in Chiberia, no?

Except I kind of got ahead of myself and went outside without a beanie nor gloves. And then my head and hands basically froze. I guess I’m not entirely acclimated to Chicago weather.

That’s okay. I raced home to this lasagna soup and completely warmed up in seconds.

Thank goodness I left it in the slow cooker, letting it cook low and slow for 7-8 hours. The house smelled like heaven.

I ladled about 2-3 servings right into my bowl, added about 17 dollops of ricotta and inhaled this like nobody’s business. And I took all the crusty garlic bread and sopped up the leftover bits.

So if Chicago wants to stay this cold, bring it on. I think I could get on board. But only if there’s lasagna soup in my crockpot.
