Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
This Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup is a deconstructed, hearty version of the classic Italian casserole. By allowing the flavors of lean ground beef, fragrant herbs like basil and oregano, and aromatic garlic to simmer slowly, you achieve a deep, savory broth that tastes like it has been cooking for hours. Finished with tender noodles, creamy ricotta, and melty mozzarella, it provides the ultimate comfort food experience without the assembly hassle of traditional oven-baked lasagna. Perfect for busy weeknights, this soul-warming soup is both foolproof and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth (halal certified)
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic until fully cooked.
Drain excess fat from the skillet.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture into the slow cooker.
Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, basil, oregano, and rosemary to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
Thirty minutes before serving, add the broken lasagna noodles to the slow cooker and cook until they are tender.
Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese.
Serve in bowls topped with a dollop of ricotta, the remaining mozzarella, and fresh parsley.
Notes
You can add finely diced zucchini or spinach during the last 30 minutes of cooking for added nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add a splash of broth when reheating as the noodles will absorb liquid while stored.
