Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Tomatoes

  • 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Pasta

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Cheeses

  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat, then add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened.
  2. Prepare Crockpot Mixture: Transfer the cooked meat mixture into the crockpot. Add the crushed tomatoes, low-sodium chicken broth, and any desired seasonings such as salt, pepper, or Italian herbs. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and stir them into the crockpot mixture, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
  4. Cook Soup: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, allowing flavors to meld and noodles to become tender.
  5. Add Cheeses: Approximately 10 minutes before serving, add spoonfuls of ricotta cheese and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top of the soup. Cover again and cook until the cheese melts.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot lasagna soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately for a hearty and comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt level.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based crumbles.
  • Adding Italian seasoning or fresh herbs can enhance the flavor.
  • Ensure to break noodles into smaller pieces to cook evenly in the crockpot.
  • Leftover soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheats nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
