This was good and really easy to make but it lost a star because it is really sweet. I think I would eliminate the tomato soup and use tomato sauce instead, then add a pinch of sugar to cut some of the acidity. The canned tomato soup flavor was really noticeable. I plan to try it again, however, with a few alterations. FOLLOW UP 7/08: I made the soup again and substituted tomato sauce for the tomato soup and added a whole can of diced tomatoes instead of just 1 cup. Only changes I made and we liked it so much better. This is now a 5 star recipe in my book! Thanks for sharing!

Very hearty, meaty and filling. I used all sausage ad no beef because that's how my kids like their lasagna. I also used ricotta for the cottage cheese. The flavor was fantastic. I'll be making this again this winter. Thax for sharing!

Wow this is good! I was out of tomatoes and subbed an 8 oz jar of tomato sauce and an extra 1/4 c water for them. The flavors in this sing. For those of you who wish this was sweeter and subbed tomato sauce for the tomato soup, that is the whole reason it was not as sweet as you would like. I used mini lasagna noodles...(malfada...) and it really looked and tasted like lasangna soup. I served with garlic/cheese ciabatta rolls and it was WONDERFUL!!!

My family loved this. I did follow the advice of one reviewer and use tomato sauce instead of the soup. However myself, I would have maybe liked it a little sweeter. I will definately make this again and use the soup this time and maybe a little milder sausage.
