how to make Healthy Crockpot Lasagna Soup

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef
1/2 yellow onion, diced
3 tsp garlic, minced
14.5 oz diced tomatoes
14.5 oz crushed tomatoes
1/3 cup tomato paste
5 cups beef broth
2 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
Salt & pepper, to taste
9 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Ricotta cheese, for serving
Fresh basil, for garnish

Directions:

In a large pan, add the ground beef and brown for 2–3 minutes.
Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, then stir in the diced onion. Continue cooking until the beef is mostly browned, about a few more minutes. It’s okay if there’s still a little pink.
Transfer the meat mixture to your slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth, along with all the dried herbs. Stir until well combined.
Set your Crockpot to low and cook for 6 hours.
After 5 hours, break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and stir them into the soup. Put the lid back on and let it cook for the final hour.
With 30 minutes left, stir in the freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Allow it to melt into the soup.
When the cooking time is up, taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with a scoop of ricotta and some fresh basil before serving.

FAQs

Can I make this soup in a regular pot instead of a crockpot? Yes! You can simmer it on the stove on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours instead.
Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned? Absolutely! Just make sure to use about 5-6 fresh tomatoes, diced, to replace the canned options.
Is it okay to omit the ricotta cheese? Yes, you can skip the ricotta if you prefer, but it adds a nice creaminess to the soup. You can also replace it with Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative.
