written by Rebecca

YIELD: 6 | SERVING SIZE: 2

Complete your morning with his green chile cheddar biscuits. Super easy to make and guaranteed to make your day. Fresh from the oven, and tasty. Excellent to serve with your favourite soup for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons cold butter

1 cup cold buttermilk

1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese

1/3 cup diced green chillies (rinsed well)

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Additional shredded cheddar for the top of biscuits

HOW TO MAKE GREEN CHILE CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees.

Step 2: Use parchment paper to line a cookie sheet.

Step 3: Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl until well mixed.

Step 4: Toss 4 slices of cold butter into the flour mixture. Mix with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the buttermilk and stir until incorporated. Stir in the green chillies and cheese until well combined and sticky.

Step 5: Put the dough on a flat surface sprinkled with flour. Then, sprinkle another 2 tbsp flour over the dough. Knead for about 5 to 6 times. Press the dough to make a half-inch thick circle.

Step 6: Use a 2-round biscuit cutter to slice the dough. Place them in the prepared baking sheet and ensure to leave an inch space on each biscuit.

Step 7: Make more circles using the dough scraps. And do the same process for the rest of the dough.

Step 8: Once everything is set, sprinkle a tsp shredded cheese on top of the biscuits.

Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10: Take the biscuits out of the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes at room temperature.

Mouthwatering flavours, excellent textures – this one-pot lasagna soup screams comfort and easy. Enjoy all the goodness of lasagna in a bowl.

Ingredients

1 yellow onion, diced

4-5 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 24 oz. jar Prego Traditional Italian Sauce

8-10 cups of low sodium chicken broth, divided

1 14 oz. can crush tomatoes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 teaspoon EACH dried parsley, dried oregano, salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 whole bay leaf

10 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into approx. 1-2-inch pieces*

1/2 cup heavy cream, optional

Cheese Garnish:

shredded mozzarella cheese

freshly finely grated Parmesan cheese

ricotta cheese

HOW TO MAKE ONE POT LASAGNA SOUP

Step 1: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, saute the onions until translucent. Add in the beef and continue to cook until brown and crumbly, often stirring.

Step 2: Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for 30 seconds more or until fragrant. Drain excess grease.

Step 3: In the pot, pour in 6 cups chicken broth followed by Prego sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, crushed tomatoes, lasagna noodles, and spices. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the noodles are firm.

Notes:

You can use pasta noodles. Although, I recommend using lasagna noodles instead as they have a nice bite.

In place of heavy cream, use cornstarch instead to make a lighter variety.

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 24 oz. jar Prego Traditional Italian Sauce
  • 8-10 cups of low sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 1 14 oz. can crush tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon EACH dried parsley, dried oregano, salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 whole bay leaf
  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into approx. 1-2-inch pieces*
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, optional
  • Cheese Garnish:
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • freshly finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ricotta cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, saute the onions until translucent. Add in the beef and continue to cook until brown and crumbly, often stirring.

Step 2: Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for 30 seconds more or until fragrant. Drain excess grease.

Step 3: In the pot, pour in 6 cups chicken broth followed by Prego sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, crushed tomatoes, lasagna noodles, and spices. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the noodles are firm.

Step 4: Take the bay leaf out before stirring in the heavy cream.

Step 5: Add in another 3 to 4 cups chicken broth and stir until thickened.

Step 6: Before serving, garnish with more cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use pasta noodles. Although, I recommend using lasagna noodles instead as they have a nice bite. In place of heavy cream, use cornstarch instead to make a lighter variety.
