This Crockpot Lasagna Soup is a rich, hearty, and comforting dish that brings all the flavors of classic lasagna into a simple, easy-to-make soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Transfer the browned meat mixture to your Crockpot. Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to combine.
  4. Set your Crockpot to low and cook for 6-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the Crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir well to ensure they’re fully submerged.
  6. Once the noodles are tender, stir in the ricotta cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella. Mix until the cheeses have melted and created a creamy texture.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining mozzarella, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan, and a handful of chopped parsley.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip browning the meat—it adds depth of flavor.’, ‘Break noodles into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Test noodles a few minutes before the cooking time is up to avoid mushiness.’, ‘Cottage cheese can be used as a substitute for ricotta.’, ‘Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.’]
