This one pot wonder is simply, wonderful.
The BEST Crockpot Lasagna Soup recipe!
My Mexican Lasagna is a great example of ways to switch it up. (FYI..it’s to die for, just sayin’)
Anywho, the other night while I was making my lasagna sauce, it HIT me! This would make an awesome soup! And what better way to cook a soup, then in the crockpot. Score! This one pot meal will be in our winter menu rotation, for sure!
Crockpot Lasagna Soup
- First mix together the can of tomatoes, and tomato paste in crockpot.
- Next add broth, beef, garlic, parsley, basil, onion, V8 and salt/pepper.

Crockpot Lasagna Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef, lean or vegetarian crumble
- 3 cups of beef broth or vegetable broth to make vegetarian
- 4-5 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 TB dried parsley
- 1 TB dried basil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1, 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 1, 6 oz can of tomato paste
- 1 cup V8 or any vegetable drink
- 2 cups uncooked shell pasta
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup of water
- Optional topping- shredded cheese
Instructions
- NOTE about beef: The pictured meet is the vegetarian crumble... that is why it looks browned. You do NOT have to brown the beef before putting into the crock pot. I did not pre-cook the meat first. If you are using a higher fat ground beef (like an 80/20) you might want to precook to drain off some of the fat. But if you don’t mind the extra fat…that isn’t even necessary, just a suggestion.
- First mix together the can of tomatoes, and tomato paste in crockpot.
- Next add broth, beef, garlic, parsley, basil, onion, V8 and salt/pepper.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
- When 30 minutes are left of cooking time, add in the 1 cup of water and noodles. Stir to combine. Put lid back on and continue cooking for 30 minutes.

Lisa says
Amazing recipe! For more veggies, I added one small zucchini (diced), 1 cup of fresh mushrooms (sliced), 2 handfuls of spinach (chopped), reduced to half cup of water with pasta as well as substituted dried parsley for 1.5 tsp of oregano (didn’t have parsley). Delicious! Will definitely be making this recipe again! Thank you!
Denella says
Did you put the spinach in at the end or the entire time it was cooking?
Heather says
I LOVE this soup, it is about the only thing I make in my crock pot at the moment but my family loves it so much I make it about once a week. A few things I do differently, just tweaks mind you…
I add one container of baby bella mushrooms that I slice thickly at the beginning of cooking
I add fresh baby spinach cut up at the beginning of cooking (2-3 handfulls)
I add 1 Tbspn Oregano
Sometimes I change it up and use sausage instead of ground beef
And lastly which I HIGHLY recommend, add one spoonfull of ricotta cheese to each bowl when you serve, this gives the soup that richer, creamy taste that really reminds me of Lasagna.
That being said, thank you so much for posting this recipe that my whole family adores!
Corey says
I love your addition of mushrooms 🙂 YUM!
Jaime Carroll says
While the final product is tasty, it’s just a sauce. I’m not at all sure how this can be called lasagna soup. It doesn’t taste like lasagna at all. It is a basic meat sauce with pasta. I made it exactly as written and I kept checking the ingredients to see if there was anything I missed to make it taste like lasagna. I didn’t. It’s just sauce. So I’d say it’s a decent recipe, just change the name of it.
Frozengeckolover says
Lasagna usually has lots of cheeses: cottage cheese, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan. You could add cheeses to this, but then it would be a lot thicker, like a casserole, not a soup. If you want it to be more lasagna-like, try adding 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 cup of ricotta right before you add the noodles and then sprinkling mozzarella or parmesan on each bowl when you serve it. Or leave out the other cheeses and just sprinkle mozzarella on when you serve it.
On a side note: this recipe is exactly how I make goulash, except I add a lot of veggies at the start. My goulash usually has Lima beans, carrots, peas or whatever I have on hand.
Sarah says
Do you add the juice in the can of tomatoes? Or do you drain it?
Frozengeckolover says
I add the juice.
Melissa says
This recipe looks so good! sharing on Pinterest..and printing right now. =)
Thanks!
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Thanks Melissa! I hope you love it!
Melissa says
Im planning on making it tomorrow, looking forward to it!
Keeley McGuire says
Love the picks, haha ~ Looks amazing girl!
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
🙂 Thank you Keeley 🙂 Would this be hard to make gluten free?
Judy says
I made a gf version last night and everyone liked it. I didn’t have time to do the crockpot so I did it on the stove. First browned ground chicken and onions. Then added tomatoes, paste, garlic, broth, spices, etc. Cooked for a bit then added some quinoa shell pasta and cooked until they were finished through. I don’t think I had to add any additional water.
Anonymous says
Do you brown the ground beef before you put it in the crockpot?
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Nope. Just throw it in there. Mine looks browned in the picture, because I used vegetarian crumbles for the batch I pictured.
Crystal says
So I made it just as the directions said and didn’t Brown the meat. In the end my meat was still pinkish in the middle. Why?
Corey says
Did you break the meat up at all before putting it in?
Bev says
There’s no way your meat will still be pink if you cook it for 7-8 hours. You can cook a whole roast in the Crockpot and it will be completely done in that time. Maybe something is wrong with your crockpot?
heidi says
My meat was still pink, too. Never had a problem with other meats in the crock pot…
Musehere says
Can you please add a link for the veggie crumble? I’d like to try that option for my vegetarian daughter, but am unable figure out what it is our how to make it.
Corey says
There are many different brands. Here is the Boca one. http://www.kraftheinz-foodservice.com/en/productsandbrands/meats/bocaveggiegroundcrumbles
Cassy Tatarian says
I made this tonight and it was very good! I kinda screwed up though. I misread the quantity of the uncooked pasta shells and added WAY too much!Although the flavor was great, It was more like a stick to your ribs, thick, hearty, lasagna mac rather than a “Soup”. I will definitely make this again! Maybe next time, I won’t be distracted by a toddler screaming at my feet lol. Thanks so much for this recipe!! 🙂
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
I am so glad you loved it! As the recipe stands, it is a pretty hardy soup, so maybe you didn’t do anything wrong. If you like a soupier soup, just add some extra broth or water when you put in the noodles 🙂 Right now you should add 1 cup of water with the noodles…next time do 2 cups or an extra cup of broth. Make sense?
Maxine says
We just moved and I can’t find my crock pot! HELP!! Has anyone made this without? Also, do you “crumble” the meat in there, or just add the lump of it raw, and it falls apart while cooking?
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
If you are going to do this recipe stove-top instead of the crockpot…this is what I would do. I would cook the noodles separate and set aside.Next, Saute the onion and garlic until soften. The add beef and cooked until browned. In a large pot, combine all the ingredients except the noodles. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 30-40 minutes, stirring every once and awhile. The last 10 minutes, add the noodles. Hope that helps!
XO
Michelle says
I did this tonight on the stove-top and it only took about 30 minutes to make. I browned the ground beef and onions together, in some water then drained and rinsed them (to get rid of as much of the grease as possible). Then I put everything in a pan, set it on medium high and stirred it every few minutes. I added water when it looked like it needed it and when the noodles were done I served it. I didn’t have any tomato paste so I just left it out, although I added a dash of sugar to give it a little sweetness that I thought the paste would of provided. This recipe turned out great and 3 of my 4 kids want to eat this again ~So that means it’s a success in my book! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
barbara says
Hi. What is the answer to the other part of her question. Do you crumble up the raw hamburger when you put it in or just plop it in there and it crumbles as it cooks? Thanks!
barbara says
Nevermind, I saw my answer further down! Thanks!
Phyllis says
Corey, I did the stove-top method as you suggested. Perfection! Gracias for a great go-to recipe.
Corey says
So glad you loved it Phyllis!!
lkpink30 says
Just to clarify…you put the noodles in uncooked, correct?
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Yep! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Sarah says
Since every other crockpot recipe you’ve featured has been incorporated into our family’s favorites, this one is a no brainer to try next. Looks fantastic! Yum!!
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Oh yay Sarah! I hope you love it!
Anonymous says
can you just use a pasta sauce along with the beef broth and v-8 or does the paste, tomato’s and juice change the thickness?
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
hmmmm. I have never tried it this way, but I don’ think it would change it that much. Maybe add an extra cup of water to it if it seems too thick. I would LOVE to hear how it turns out for you. I am sure the pasta sauce will work fine. Just watch your thickness 🙂 Hope that helps!

Tried this tonight and my fiance and I both loved it! It was great with some mozzarella cheese on top…maybe next time I will add a little cheese while it’s cooking! Thanks for the great recipe! 🙂

Oh good Liz! I am so glad you loved it. That sounds like a treat idea 🙂 The more cheese the better in my book!
vanessa says
im thinking of adding some Ricotta cheese, has anyone done that??
Laura says
I’ve made lasagna soup before and put a dollop of ricotta in the bottom of the bowl just before serving.
Anonymous says
Can you make this without the V8? I just never buy that and I don’t want to have a ton of V8 left over. It’s hard to find in small quantities.
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Well, the V8 does add a certain flavor. So if you can’t find it in small cans, maybe try a mixture of tomato sauce, water, and some of your favorite Italian seasoning. Hope that helps
Jodi says
I bought the smallest V8 I could find, divided into cup servings, and froze in baggies for the next few times I make this delicious soup! Even my toddler asked for more! #winner
Corey says
YAY 🙂 Perfect Jodi!
Marie says
I BuY low sodium V8 in little cans that come in 6 packs just for cooking. they work fabulous and have an excellent shelf life. that way you aren’t opening up a big can or bottle of it for a little bit for a recipe. I use it all the time in tomato based casseroles and soups.

This is what we call “GOOLOSH” like your fancier name of Lasagna Soup though makes it seem less “red neck.” And it is DELICIOUS

The hamburger goes in uncooked? Do you crumble it or just sort of throw in the whole lump of meat and it’ll ceumble while cooking…?
Trish says
I made this today….it’s cold and rainy outside and it was perfect! Loved it! Thank you for sharing.
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
I am so glad Trish! Thanks for sharing! XO
Sarah says
OMG.. Made this today, and it was FABULOUS! We made it with Quorn vegetarian crumbles, and while I did add some shredded cheddar jack at the end.. I think because this is a lasagna soup, next time (very very soon), I’ll add a dollop of ricotta! Maybe throw in a chopped bell pepper too… Yum, yum, yum. When I added the pasta, I added an extra 1/2 cup of the veggie broth, and it was perfect for us. Thank you for another fabulous recipe!!
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
SO cool Sarah!!! Love the ricotta and bell pepper idea!
Brandi says

Corey says
Yes, the hamburger goes in uncooked. I would break it up a bit as you put it in 🙂
ali says
can you put the hamburger in frozen or does it need to be thawed?
Corey says
I have never used frozen before. I think it should work. You just might need to adjust the cooking time 🙂 Hope that helps!
Catie Muller says
Making this right now, and my house smells amazing! Thank you for the great recipe. I’m signing up fir notifications now. 🙂
Stacy says
Didn’t really see an answer. But I have the same question as a few others above..
Do u just throw in an uncooked lump of hamburger and it crumbles while cooking? Will the grease mess up the soup? Or just use very lean meat?
Corey says
Yes, the hamburger goes in uncooked. I would break it up a bit as you put it in 🙂 I always try to use lean meat when cooking. So if you can find it , go with that. Hope you love it Stacey!
Brittany says
Thanks so much for the recipe! My husband and I loved it! I used turkey for the meat, and chicken broth instead of beef (bc that’s what I had) and it still turned out to be very yummy! Thanks again!

Milena says
Okay, so my family leaves the house at seven and gets home at five thirty. If I cooked it on low for 8 hours, the turned the crockpot on warm, and add the noodles when I got home and let them cook on low for 30 minutes, do you think that would work?
Corey says
Milena, that sounds like a perfect plan to me! I am sure that will work out great. Please let me know how it turns out for you 🙂
amy says
Made this tonight and even my very picky 8 year old loved it! I used ground turkey instead of beef and I didn’t need to add the extra water when I added the noodles, there was plenty of liquid. Great comfort food recipe!

Sabrina says
Made this tonight and it was SO GOOD! Very hearty and filling and tasty! I made a few tweaks because I had a lot more beef and a bit less broth, but it’s one of those recipes you can fiddle with a little bit and know it will be just fine. We have a ton leftover, so I look forward to eating it again tomorrow! Thanks, this one makes it into our dinner rotation for sure 🙂
Corey says
Fantastic Sabrina! Yes, I love to hear about the different add-ins people have been doing. SO FUN! Enjoy the leftovers. They freeze well too 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing girl! XO
Deanna says
This recipe sounds great. I would like to make it for a group of moms that swap prepped freezer meals once a month.
I know I don’t want to freeze with the noodles in it so I have a quick question: should I cook completely and the have them heat on stove top (or some other suggestion) and cook noodles separately or just throw everything (except noodles) in bag raw and have them cook in crock as directed? Thank you.
Corey says
First of all, I LOVE the idea of a freezer meal swap! How fun is that?! If you are going to freeze without the noodles, I would just make fresh noodles the day that you will be serving it, and mix fresh noodles together with the reheated soup.. I think that would be the easiest way 🙂 Hope you enjoy! XO
Lori A. says
I love freezer meals. If it were me I would prep everything and just bag the uncooked pasta separately with instructions to add the pasta the last 30 minutes etc.

Allyson says
I made this today, and it tastes pretty good, but mine is SO RUNNY! (I mean I do know it’s a soup…but still) It doesn’t look anything like your finished product. I feel like maybe 2 cups of shells wasn’t enough? I actually added cornstarch just to thicken it up. Next time I think I’d scale back the broth and the V8 AND forget the water for the noodles. Tastes good though, so that’s not a real complaint…just an observation.
How’d yours turn out so thick??
Corey says
That is so funny, because people have also said that the soup is too thick 🙂 Maybe my crockpot runs hotter? Sounds like you are right, skip out on that extra water next time, or add some extra noodles 🙂 I am happy hear you enjoyed it! Next time you make it, let me know how that adjustment works out for you Allyson. XO
Amy says
A FB friend sent me here after making your recipe. He said it was delicious. One question for you, is vegetarian crumble soy? Can you leave it out? I guess that was 2 questions 🙂 Thanks, Amy
Corey says
It is a soy product, and yes you could use real meat instead. I have made it both ways and both are equally delish! If you are not wanting to use soy OR real meat, the I would suggest beefing it up with some veg… bell peppers, zucchini.. It would be lacking something if you didn’t add at least something. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for stopping by! XO
Renee says
I only have a 3 qt crockpot, do I just cut the recipe in half then?
Corey says
Yep 🙂 Hope you love it Renne!
Barbara says
I have a silly question. Do you cook the beef before combining it, or do you add it raw?
Corey says
I did not pre-cook the meat first. If you are using a higher fat ground beef (like an 80/20) you might want to precook to drain off some of the fat. But if you don’t mind the extra fat…that isn’t even necessary, just a suggestion 🙂 Hope you enjoy Barbara! XO
Christine says
If I brown and drain meat before putting in croc pot when do I put it in the croc pot? In the beginning like recipe says?
Stephanie Minix says
I am crocking this today , with a little variation . No canned tomatoes or beef broth. Just the bottle of V8 juice and tomato paste . I browned the hamburger first with onion and garlic and Italian seasoning . Gonna add cottage cheese and mozzarella to it .
Corey says
Sounds GREAT Stephanie. I hope you love it! XO
Stephanie Minix says
We did it !! Thanks 🙂
Kim M says
I made this the other night to keep in the fridge for lunches during the week. I highly recommend using the lean ground beef as you suggested (but didnt see until after the fact) since the grease will stay in the pot (my *duh* moment lol). I also think I let the shells cook a bit too long since they are rather mushy, but over I LOVED the soup, and its a fast easy way to keep a hearty lunch on hand to grab in the morning. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Corey says
I am so glad you liked it Kim! XO

Heather says
I saw this on Pinterest and made it last night for our family. SO GOOD. I love lasagna but it is is a time consuming process to make, esp. with a 3 year old and 9 month old running around. I was drawn to this recipe because it was in the crock pot and all the ingredients (or substitutions) were in my cupboard. Here’s a few changes I made solely based on my pantry and extra ease: Rotini noodles (in pantry), didn’t have V8 so I used a can of diced tomatoes with garlic and green peppers as well as a half cup of leftover pasta sauce that was nearing its end in our fridge :), I used a packet of onion soup mix because I didn’t feel like chopping an onion and I do love the flavor it gives to soup, I used ground turkey, 3 beef boullion cubes (in pantry), and italian seasoning instead of just the two spices mentioned. SO GOOD. We served it with shredded moz. cheese. Next time, I may stir in a little ricotta at the end with the pasta to make it extra creamy/lasagna like!
I have book-marked this site and hope to make a bunch more of your things. I love the photos and the healthy, simple, “ingredients on hand” philosophy! THANK YOU!
Corey says
YAY Heather, I am so glad you liked it! These are great substitutions 🙂 I do love the idea of stirring in ricotta at the end. Thank you so much for stopping by. XO 🙂
dissapointed says
My wife made this the other day and it’s awful. Although she’s not much of a cook, this was the worst meal EVER. Why You wouldn’t brown the meat and season, I don’t know. Why not cook the pasta al dente then add at service, over cooked pasta ruins a dish. Fresh herbs migut help, maybe sugar to cut the acid in the tomatoes. Salt? Pepper? 1/4 tsp for a huge crock, take pride in what you do, or don’t do it.
Corey says
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am so sorry you didn’t enjoy these meal as much as everyone else. As I said in the comments, you can brown the meat if you are using a higher fat beef, but otherwise, I don’t think it is needed. Yes, you can cook the pasta separate, so it would have the texture you like, but that defeats the purpose of a crockpot meal 🙂 My goal with the crockpot meals is to save time in the kitchen. I think that is a fantastic idea to add some fresh herbs. It sounds like this recipe would suite you better as a stove-top meal. Season and cook meat until brown, and then add to sauce mixture and simmer for on a low heat for an hour. Cook pasta separate, and mix together when ready to serve. Hope that helps!
Heather says
Hey, disappointed (spell it right), your comment “take pride in what you do, or don’t do it.” was unnecessary! If you don’t like the recipe, just state why. Clearly Corey takes GREAT pride in what she does…her posts include thorough photos and details. Pride is all I see on this blog. Corey, don’t listen to this hater. You rock! And your grace in your response is commendable! Bravo.

Sorry you were disappointed! You said your wife is not much of a cook, so maybe she didn’t follow the recipe right. The soup is actually delicious! We ate it tonight, had company over, & they even asked for some more to take home! If you follow the recipe correctly, the soup is absolutely wonderful! Thank you, again, for sharing your recipe Corey! Not only do you have fabulous recipes, but you are a total classy lady! Bravo to you!

Luceille Coo says
Found this on Pinterest the other day and it is cold and rainy, perfect to make it for this type of weather. Family LOVED it and I will be making this again and again and again. I used ground turkey instead of beef also I added maybe a teaspoon of crush red chili flake in there to give it a little kick of heat. So delicious and easy.
Corey says
I love your idea using the chili flakes with turkey 🙂 I am totally doing to try that with our next batch!
Gin says
Just put this in crockpot, but didn’t read carefully and threw in the pasta, crap!!!! I did elboy macoroni, so maybe it is smaller and wont taste so horrible!!!
Corey says
Oh no! Is there anyway you can scoop it out? Or did you already mix it in? The noodles will get pretty mushy if you are cooking them the whole time. I hope it turns out ok 🙂
Karen says
So, I really excited about making this dish but I completely forgot to pick up tomato paste while I was at the store 🙁
is there anything I can substitute in for it instead?
Corey says
Here I found a recipe on how to make a substitute. I hope that helps! http://southernfood.about.com/od/tomatoes/qt/how-to-make-tomato-paste.htm
Chris N. says
A friend of mine told me about this recipe on pinterest, found got the ingredients to make it this morning prepared it in the slow cooker and had it for lunch before the Daytona 500 came on…wow it turn out perfect, the taste had so much flavor! I would certainly make this again for friends!
crockpot lover says
I have made this once before and have it in the crock pot again tonight. I changed a few things this time though…I used 1/2 lb. of ground chicken and 1/2 lb. of ground pork, oregano and thyme along with the basil and parsley. I also added green and red bell peppers. I’m torn between using tortellini instead of the pasta shells; haven’t quite decided yet. I think either would taste fine. Loved it the last time, so I’m sure it will be great again tonight.
Corey says
Oh my! Tortellini would sure be yummy! Let me know if you try that out and how it tastes 🙂 XO
crockpot lover says
I chickened out and used the shell pasta, but I am certainly going to do it next time. The seasonings were great and using chicken and pork didn’t change the flavor or anything…pork is a little more lean and much less expensive as well. I’ll probably make this one more time before the cold weather is gone.
Corey says
Hahaha. Let me know when you do use the tortellini 🙂 That is great to know about the chicken and pork.
Sweetnsassy says
I am looking to try this meal out since alot of great comments have been posted but I have one question.. your recipe states to cook on low for 7 to 8 hours what would happen if it cooked 10 hours? would anything need to be adjusted as far as the thickness goes?
Corey says
I think it should be fine for 10 hours. Maybe add in a little extra liquid, and make sure the crockpot is on it’s lowest setting 🙂
Jen @TheFitHousewife says
Mmmm…we love Lasagna Soup. I’ve never made it in the slow cooker, so I’ll have to do that on days I’m busy with the kids 🙂
Corey says
Yep, that is the perfect time for it 🙂 The crockpot always comes to the rescue on those kinds of days 🙂 Hope you love it Jen! XO
