2. Ingredients needed for this flavorful lasagna soup

• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

3. How to prepare the Hearty Crockpot Lasagna Soup Delight

Step 1: Cook the ground meat

In a skillet, browning the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked is optional but helps prevent excess grease in the slow cooker. Alternatively, you can add the raw meat directly into the crockpot for a more hands-off approach.

Step 2: Prepare the base of the soup

In your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker, combine the cooked or raw ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir everything thoroughly to blend flavors.

Step 3: Set and forget

Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. The slow cooker will make the meat tender and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Step 4: Add the pasta

About 30 minutes before serving, open the lid and add the broken lasagna noodles. Stir gently, then cover and cook on high until the noodles are tender, about 20–30 minutes.

Step 5: Finish with cheese and herbs

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and gooey. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for an extra burst of flavor. Your hearty crockpot lasagna soup is now ready to enjoy!

4. Storage tips for leftover hearty lasagna soup

Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen the soup.
