Crockpot Lasagna Soup
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!

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.

- 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.

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!
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.
Oh my! Tortellini would sure be yummy! Let me know if you try that out and how it tastes 🙂 XO
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.
Hahaha. Let me know when you do use the tortellini 🙂 That is great to know about the chicken and pork.
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?
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 🙂
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 🙂
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
