- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
- 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth (more if you want a thinner soup)

- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, or more to taste.
