Enjoy the flavor of lasagna without all the work.
Everyone loves lasagna, right? I mean, just think about it for a minute: noodles, hearty meat sauce, hot bubbling cheese that stretches for miles. What’s not to love?
Well, unless maybe it’s all the work it takes to make it. Cooking up the noodles, browning the beef, making the sauce, laying everything out in the pan, putting it in the oven, switching up the heat to get it browned just right…whew! It’s just not something you’d want to do every day.
Luckily, you don’t have to! With my Hearty Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup, you get all the deliciousness of lasagna without the hassle. You can just load up the crockpot in the morning, and 20 minutes before dinnertime, add the last two ingredients. Boom. Done.
You’ve got just enough time to set the table-and maybe enjoy a nice glass of wine-before your soup is ready to serve.
You might be familiar with my original and kinda FAMOUS Crockpot Lasagna Soup. (if not, please try it out…Family Fresh Meal fans LOVE it! )
When my friends over at Betty Crocker asked if I would create a version for them, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. This recipe is everything you love about my lasagna soup, but beefed up with some delicious veggies!

It was delicious, but kind of watery. My family prefers thick creamy soup, so this is just a personal preference and nothing wrong with the recipe itself. Next time I’ll add more tomato sauce to try and thicken it up unless anybody has any suggestions for me?

If you do like a creamier soup, maybe also add in some heavy cream 🙂 YUM!
