Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Crockpot Lasagna Soup is pure genius—it delivers every layer of flavor from traditional lasagna (savory beef, tangy tomato sauce, gooey cheese) but in an easy, comforting soup that’s ready with almost no effort. The slow cooker melds everything into a rich, hearty broth while broken lasagna noodles soak up the goodness, making it feel indulgent yet lighter. It’s incredibly family-friendly (even picky eaters love it), budget-friendly, and perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, or meal prep. The dollop of creamy ricotta-Parmesan topping adds that signature lasagna touch without layering hassle. Cozy, satisfying, and guaranteed to become a regular in your dinner rotation.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Brown Beef First → Adds depth and prevents greasiness.
• Break Noodles → Into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
• Add Noodles Last → Prevents mushiness (last 30–45 min).
• Ricotta Topping → Dollop at serving for fresh creaminess.
• Extra Cheese → Stir in mozzarella last 30 min for gooey melt.
• Adjust Thickness → Add broth if too thick after noodles cook.
