  3. Mix in 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (with juice), 1 cup of tomato sauce, and ⅓ cup of tomato paste. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth along with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until well combined.

  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with chopped parsley for brightness. Enjoy your Easy Lasagna Soup!
