How To Make the Best Crockpot Lasagna Soup
Add the ground pork and the diced onions to a skillet. Cook until browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add to the slow cooker. You can add directly to the slow cooker if in a hurry, however, it will alter the texture and flavor of the soup.
Add the marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, salt, parsley, oregano, basil, pepper, red pepper flakes, and the bay leaf. Stir well and cover.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. 30 minutes before serving add the lasagna noodles broken into small pieces. Stir the pasta into the soup then cover and cook for 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese blending until mixed well.
Add a dollop of the ricotta mixture to each bowl of soup or you can also mix the ricotta mixture into the soup if preferred.
Tips and Recipe Notes
- The pork sausage can also be swapped with ground beef, turkey or chicken. 1/2 ground meat and 1/2 ground sausage is also a tasty option.
- Don’t forget to remove the bay leaf before serving the soup. It is included to infuse flavor into the soup base but is not meant to be eaten.
- Looking to make crockpot lasagna soup without ricotta cheese? Replace with 15 ounces of cottage cheese.
- Top with red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
- Sautéing the onions and garlic with the sausage before adding to the slow cooker enhances the overall flavor and texture of the dish.
- Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- Add vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini or eggplant to the soup.
What To Serve With Lasagna
Similar to traditional lasagna, crockpot lasagna soup is a hearty dish that can be served as a meal. If looking for a variety of sides that complement the soup, consider a crisp salad topped with colorful vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots drizzled with a vinaigrette.
A slice of crusty bread with or without garlic is a delicious side that can be dipped into the bowl of soup to soak up any leftover broth. Dinner rolls accompanied with garlic butter is another gluten-free option.
Looking to round out the meal with dessert? Pecan Pie Cobbler features the rich flavors of pie transformed into a gooey cobbler. Our recipe for Smores in the Oven brings the cozy essence of a crackling fire straight to the kitchen. For a recipe with only five ingredients, No Bake Peanut Butter Balls are the way to go.
Kids In The Kitchen
Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.
- Get kids involved in the cooking process by letting them first find all the ingredients for the soup. This will teach them to read labels and learn where products are stored in the kitchen.
- Next, let kids break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces, showing them how to break with minimal mess. Explain how breaking the noodles will make them easier to eat and allow them to all fit in the pot.
- Lastly, show kids the different stages of pasta cooking by checking the pasta often and removing the soup from the heat when the noodles are al dente.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this recipe was created without gluten. Always check individual product labels to verify ingredients are safe.
Stirring the ricotta cheese into the soup will help to make it creamy. For added richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream.
Absolutely. Prepare the soup base in advance and add the noodles just before reheating to keep them from becoming mushy.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
First, allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it into an airtight container, making sure to leave some space at the top for expansion if freezing. Seal the container tightly to prevent any air from entering. If you plan to consume it within a few days, refrigerate the soup.
For longer-term storage, freeze it. This soup does freeze best without the noodles for up to 3 months. If looking to make a batch to keep in the freezer, add the noodles when the soup is reheated.
Label the container with the date to keep track of freshness. When reheating, thaw frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight or gently warm it on the stovetop over low heat. Always reheat to a safe internal temperature (165°F or 74°C) before serving.
Properly stored, lasagna soup can be enjoyed for up to 3-4 months in the freezer or 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
