Step 5
In a mixing bowl, stir together the grated mozzarella, ricotta and parmesan cheese until well combined. Scoop heaping portions of lasagna soup into bowls and add desired amount of cheese mixture on top. Either serve soup immediately, or place bowls on a large baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350° F for 5 to 10 minutes, until cheese has melted. If desired, garnish with fresh oregano and basil.
