This post originally appeared in 2015 but I’ve updated it with new photos. Everything else has stayed the same and it’s still one of our all-time favorite meals!
I first tried Lasagna Soup several years ago after a friend told me that it was one of her family’s favorites. It was a stovetop version so when I found a slowcooker version online I was anxious to try it out. I love my slowcooker as it makes mealtime so much easier! Inspired by a recipe from Family Fresh Meals that I pinned here, I’ve made several modifications since discovering it a year or so ago so thought I would share my version Crockpot Lasagna Soup with you all.
One big change is that I make ours with Italian sausage. The spices and depth of flavor the sausage add so much flavor! I’ve also adjusted some of the other ingredients to help stretch the serving size a bit. Another change I made was to make the pasta separately. The original recipe called for you to cook it in the slowcooker the last 30 minutes before it’s done but what we found was that the pasta was unreliably cooked–sometimes it got overcooked, other times it was undercooked. Also, when there are leftovers, the pasta tends to get mushy so keeping it separate will still let you enjoy the flavors together with more reliable results. You’ll see that you can cook it on low or high, depending on how much time you have. I’ve done both and the results are just as delicious either way!
This Crockpot Lasagna Soup is definitely a favorite and something I’ve made for company often–it’s that good!
Next week I’ll be making it for a soup buffet our school is hosting for the teachers. Simple Slowcooker Ground Turkey, Barley and Vegetable is another big favorite that I like to make for others–it’s super easy too! I hope you’ll give the Crockpot Lasagna Soup a try. I’d love to hear how you like it in the comments below. Enjoy!
