This lasagna soup could not be easier or more delicious. Slow cooked all day to perfection with a blend of beef, cheese and noodles, it’s a weeknight family favorite for those cold winter months.

Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup Recipe

Let’s talk soup for a minute. My husband is not a huge fan of soup unless it’s one heck of a hearty soup. I don’t blame him either. He’s a rancher and works HARD every day. So, coming home to a measly bowl of soup after a long, hard day is a bit of a letdown. But…not this soup. This soup is so flipping good and it fills you up. It’s all the goodness of traditional lasagna but in a hearty soup version that takes a fraction of the time. I pair this with a side salad and some garlic bread, and I look like I’m the ranch version of Martha Stewart.

The Cowboys’ Rating: 9.5/10

Every time I make a new recipe, I have my family rate the recipe out of 10. By the time, these recipes make the blog, they’ve been tried and tested by some of my hardest tiny critics!

What’s In Lasagna Soup?

Ground Beef – I always use our homegrown grass finished ground beef. Not only is it packed with nutrients and so dang good, it’s lean (90/10) and I never have to drain it. I always recommend getting beef from a great local source.
Diced Tomatoes – I use basic diced tomatoes. Pretty simple here.
Chicken Broth – This is going to be the base of your soup.
Tomato Paste – You want a robust tomato flavor in this lasagna soup recipe, so I like to add some tomato paste to add depth and to also thicken the soup.
Italian Seasoning – I’ve found that there are many different variations of Italian seasoning. The dried herb blend can vary from recipe to recipe. This is my favorite seasoning blend here.
Garlic Powder – garlic powder is dehydrated garlic that has been ground into powder. Adding garlic powder adds depth and flavor to the homemade lasagna soup recipe.
Onion Powder – onion powder is also a dehydrated form that has been ground into powder. Because onions give a robust flavor in all different dishes, I like to add onion powder to this lasagna soup recipe.
Kosher Salt – I like to use kosher salt often in cooking because of its flavor. Unlike regular table salt, kosher salt is not iodized and it’s very versatile. The texture is large, light flakes that don’t dissolve immediately. I feel like it gives my dishes a richer flavor.
Pepper – I always add a dash of pepper in all my dinner recipes.
Lasagna Noodles – Obviously you can’t have lasagna soup without lasagna noodles. Any lasagna noodles will do, but these are the ones that I prefer here. They give the homemade lasagna soup a little texture.
Parmesan Cheese – Parmesan cheese has a distinct, savory flavor that is delicious in this recipe.
Mozzarella Cheese – Lasagna soup couldn’t be complete without the richness and creaminess of mozzarella cheese.
Ricotta Cheese – No lasagna is complete without the addition of ricotta cheese. Ricotta cheese is an incredibly soft, milky flavored cheese with a grainy texture. It’s thick like sour cream and is great to add to this dish in a small amount so it doesn’t overpower the rest of the flavors.
