Description

Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup combines all the classic flavors of lasagna—rich tomato sauce, tender noodles, savory sausage, and creamy cheese—into an easy, hearty soup made right in your crockpot. Perfect for cozy weeknights, this dish delivers comfort and flavor with minimal effort.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage (or ground beef or turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Add diced onion, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, add broken lasagna noodles. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook until noodles are tender.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan to make the cheese topping.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls, top with a spoonful of the cheese mixture, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit sausage and use vegetable broth.
  • Add extra red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
  • Substitute noodles with gluten-free pasta or small pasta shapes like rotini.
  • Store leftovers up to 4 days in the refrigerator or freeze (without noodles) for up to 3 months.
  • Add a splash of broth when reheating, as the pasta absorbs liquid over time.
