We wanted something relatively easy so we made the Lighter Lasagna Soup^[@rev]. We made a few changes to the recipe to match what we had and out mood. They were

Use a vodka sauce (see below) instead of regular
Chicken sausage and 2/3 lbs (but still the raw kind)
Added mushrooms
Red pepper instead of green (we prefer it and had it)
Moose-shaped pasta
Used a few mozzarella balls instead of shredded
Skipped the garlic and added garlic powder
Cooked the sausage separately and a bit later

Overall, we were really happy with it. It is relatively healthy and pretty easy. The only thing is we kind of bulked this up a bunch but didn’t adjust the liquids so it was very thick (but I liked it that way still).

As using the vodka sauce was pretty good. We would use that again

I also roasted half a kabocha squash (30 min at 400°F, flipped half way) as a side for me. Meredith didn't want any but it is one of my favorites and I was more hungry.

Vodka Sauce

Vodka sauce is Meredith's favorite kind but tends to be rather unhealthy. However, we found the one pictured below at only 50 cal a serving (10 fewer than the lightest of the regular ones)
