Instructions

In a large pot, with a splash of oil, add onion, bell pepper and garlic and sauté until onion softens.
Add in lentils and vegan sausage, stirring well and cooking until sausage has browned a little.
Stir in tomato paste, nutritional yeast, oregano, basil, rosemary, fennel seeds, thyme and red pepper flakes, mixing well.
Allow tomato paste to cook for about 1-2 minutes and then add in both cans of tomatoes, the sugar and 5 cups of vegetable broth. Bring soup to a rolling boil and cook for 3-4 minutes then add in the broken lasagna noodles.
Bring soup to simmer and allow soup to cook for about 10-12 minutes or until noodles have completely softened.
Pour in additional water if desired to help loosen and thin out soup based on preference. Serve as is or feel free to stir in some vegan cheese or top with some vegan ricotta.

Notes

If you don’t wish to use vegan sausage you can replace with 1 extra cup of cooked lentils. If you’d rather choose different protein options for this soup, I would recommend cannellini beans, vegan meat crumbles, crumbled tofu, tempeh or just use extra veggies like diced mushrooms and zucchini.
