For the Soup Base

1 lb Ground Beef or Sausage Substitute with turkey for a lighter option.

2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Using fresh herbs can elevate the dish.
1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste for a balanced flavor.

For the Pasta and Cheese

Instructions

How to Make Delicious Crock Pot Lasagna Soup

Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and/or sausage over medium heat until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Combine Ingredients: In your crock pot, mix together the browned meat, sautéed onions, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Add Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and gently incorporate them into the soup mixture.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, or on high for 2 hours, checking noodles for tenderness.
Finish with Cheese: Stir in the ricotta cheese until melted and creamy just before serving, topped with shredded mozzarella.
Optional: Garnish with fresh basil for an aromatic touch.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of broth if needed.
