The choice of crushed tomatoes and low-sodium chicken broth contributes to the robust tomato base, delivering a burst of freshness to every spoonful. The lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces, provide a satisfying texture and absorb the delicious flavors of the broth. The incorporation of fat-free shredded mozzarella adds a creamy and cheesy element, elevating the soup to a level of indulgence.
