A comforting and easy-to-make creamy lasagna soup cooked in a crockpot, combining the flavors of traditional lasagna with the convenience of slow cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (San Marzano style if available)
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary blend)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth (vegetable broth can be used as substitute)
  • 4–5 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion softens and turns translucent (about 4-5 minutes).
  3. Combine ingredients in crockpot: Transfer the beef mixture to the slow cooker. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix well.
  4. Add noodles: Break lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the crockpot.
  5. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3 hours. Stir once or twice if possible to prevent sticking.
  6. Finish with cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses until melted and creamy. Add chopped fresh basil if using.
  7. Adjust seasoning: Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Optionally add red pepper flakes for heat.
  8. Serve warm: Ladle into bowls and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Brown the beef and sauté onions and garlic before adding to the crockpot for deeper flavor. Add noodles later in cooking to avoid mushiness. Stir cheeses in near the end for creamy texture. If soup thickens after resting, add broth or water to loosen before reheating. Use ‘keep warm’ setting sparingly to avoid soggy pasta.
