Lasagna Soup
- 1 pound mild Italian Sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup tomato paste
- 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans of diced tomatoes

- ½ cup parmesan cheese finely shredded
Instructions
Lasagna Soup
- Add sausage, ground beef, and sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and break apart until browned. Drain off excess grease and add to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, salt, tomato paste, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. Stir until well combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Thirty minutes before cook time is done. Break up lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces. Add noodles and heavy cream. Stir and continue to cook.
Cheese Topping
- Meanwhile, add ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese to a medium mixing bowl. Mix together with a fork and set aside.
- Add Lasagna soup to bowls and top with cheese topping. Enjoy!
Notes
- To get the perfect bite in every spoonful, try to break the pasta into equal-sized pieces.
- If you’re using regular beef broth, start with a little salt and then add in more if needed, towards the end.
- To prevent overcooking the noodles, add them to the slow cooker just 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete.
- Stir the soup occasionally during the cooking process to ensure that all the flavors come together properly.
- Don't skip the heavy cream – it adds an amazing velvety creaminess to the lasagna soup, enhancing the overall texture and taste.
- To lend the soup an authentic Italian flavor, tear a few fresh basil leaves and top them over your bowl of soup. You can also add some red pepper flakes if you want to.
