Enjoy all the cozy flavors of lasagna in this easy crockpot lasagna soup recipe. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prepping!

  • Total Time: 4-6 hours
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Brown the beef: Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s fully browned. Don’t skip draining the excess fat—it’ll keep your soup from getting too greasy. Add the chopped onions and garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onions are soft and translucent. This step builds that delicious foundation of flavor.
  • Dump everything into the crockpot: Transfer the beef mixture into the crockpot. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, and spices. Stir it all together and cover. Now sit back and let the magic happen!
  • Add the noodles: About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, toss in the broken lasagna noodles. Make sure they’re submerged so they cook evenly. Trust me, I’ve made the mistake of just tossing them in and not stirring—they ended up crunchy and half-cooked. Don’t be me.
  • Cheese time!: About 10 minutes before serving, stir in your cheese mixture. I mix the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan in a bowl before adding it to the soup so everything blends evenly. The soup will turn creamy, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible.
  • Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil or parsley if you’ve got it, and dig in!

Notes

Serving ideas: how to plate this cozy dish

I like to serve this soup in big, deep bowls to really capture all those saucy, cheesy layers. A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley adds a pop of color, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can even drizzle a little olive oil on top for richness. Pair it with some warm, crusty garlic bread (because let’s be honest, dipping bread into this soup is half the fun). A simple side salad with a zesty vinaigrette is a great way to balance out the meal too.
