Ingredients
  

  • For the Soup Base:
  • 1 lb ground beef or use ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or beef broth for a richer taste
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional, for a little heat
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Pasta:
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles broken into pieces (or substitute with cheese tortellini for a Crock Pot Tortellini Soup variation)
  • For the Cheese Mixture:
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese Lasagna Soup with Ricotta classic flavor
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley fresh or dried
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream for a Creamy Lasagna Soup
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage for extra flavor

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Brown the Meat
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef (or chicken) with chopped onion until browned and fragrant, about 6–8 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last minute of cooking. Drain any excess fat.
  • Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot
  • Transfer the cooked meat mixture to your slow cooker. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, and seasonings (Italian herbs, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes). Stir well to combine.
  • Step 3: Slow Cook
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the flavors meld together and the soup is rich and aromatic.
  • Step 4: Add the Pasta
  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir in broken lasagna noodles (or tortellini if using). Continue cooking until the noodles are tender.
  • Step 5: Make the Cheese Topping
  • In a small bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
  • Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture. If desired, drizzle with a touch of cream for extra richness.
  • Cooking Tip:
  • If making Chicken Lasagna Soup, swap the ground beef for shredded cooked chicken and use chicken broth for a lighter, comforting twist.
