Ingredients for the Best Crockpot Lasagna Soup

Here’s everything you’ll need for this ultra-cozy bowl of comfort:

• Lean ground beef (85/15): Juicy, hearty, flavorful—just drain extra fat after browning.
• Italian seasoning: Half in the skillet, half in the slow cooker to layer that herby goodness.
• Salt and pepper: Season to taste (your future self will thank you).
• Onion, diced: Sweetens and deepens the flavor.
• Garlic, minced: Because garlic = love.
• Beef broth: Add more for a soupier soup, less for thicker coziness.
• Jar pasta sauce (Rao’s Tomato Basil recommended): No shame in shortcuts—this one tastes homemade.
• Tomato paste: Extra richness and umami.
• Lasagna noodles: Break ’em up, toss ’em in, enjoy every slurp.
• Ricotta cheese: The dreamy topping that gives true lasagna vibes.
• Mozzarella cheese: Melty, stretchy magic.
• Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated, please!
• Fresh parsley or basil: Bright finish, chef’s kiss.

How to Make Crockpot Lasagna Soup

Step 1: Brown the Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef, break it apart, and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned with just a hint of pink. Drain any extra fat.

Step 2: Add Onion and Garlic

Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook a few minutes more until the onions soften and become fragrant—this is where your kitchen begins smelling amazing.

Step 3: Build the Broth in the Crockpot

Transfer the beef mixture into your slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, jarred pasta sauce, tomato paste, and the remaining Italian seasoning. Give everything a nice stir.

Step 4: Let the Magic Happen

Cover and cook:

• Low: 4–5 hours
• High: 2–3 hours

You can easily let it go up to 6 hours on low if your day gets away from you. (Happens to me all the time.)

Step 5: Add the Noodles

Break your lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir them in. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until tender.

Step 6: Serve with All the Cheesy Love

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with:

• A generous dollop of ricotta
• A sprinkle of mozzarella
• A dusting of parmesan
• Fresh chopped parsley or basil

The cheeses melt into the warm soup, giving you those nostalgic lasagna flavors with every bite.

Mounia’s Tips for the Best Crockpot Lasagna Soup

• Want it thicker? Add fewer lasagna noodles—or simmer a bit longer.
• Want it soupier? Add an extra cup of beef broth during cooking or reheating.
• Love garlic? Add an extra clove or two. I fully support this.
• Don’t overthink the noodles. Break them unevenly—no one’s measuring noodle geometry tonight.
• Cheese at the end is NON-negotiable. It’s the soul of this soup.

This recipe has saved me more than once on weeks when life felt like one long appointment reminder. There’s something comforting about knowing dinner is bubbling away without needing your constant attention.

Storage Tips for Leftovers

Once cooled completely, store your Crockpot Lasagna Soup in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

A heads-up: the noodles will soak up some broth (it’s their love language). When reheating, add a splash of beef broth to bring back that perfect cozy texture.
