My notes

• This crockpot lasagna soup recipe gets thicker as it sits, add more broth if desired. 
• You can use beef broth or chicken broth. I've tried it with both and it works just fine. 
• Add salt and black pepper to this soup at the end of the cooking time to suit your taste buds. 
• Pieces of chopped fresh basil add a nice pop of color and fresh flavor to this easy slow cooker lasagna soup. 

Adaptable recipe – make it your own!

• Use turkey Italian sausage in place of ground beef.
• Top with red pepper flakes, diced jalapeños, or freshly ground pepper for even more flavor.
• Stir in a dollop of cream cheese in place of the ricotta before serving.
• Add fresh veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or chopped zucchini.
• You can use low-sodium chicken broth or beef stock if you choose.

Storage and reheating

Refrigerate - Store leftover soup in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to four days. Separate the noodles and vegetables from the soup then store separately as the pasta will absorb all the broth.

Freeze - Pour completely cooled soup into a freezer container and freeze for up to 3 months. Also remember to freeze broth and noodles separately.

Reheat - Thaw in the fridge overnight if frozen, mix and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave with a little bit more stock.

Make Ahead

The best thing about soup recipes like this one is that they continue to soak up flavors when they are made ahead, so they taste even better the next day.

So, feel free to make this recipe without the noodles the night before and reheat it for dinner, and proceed with adding the noodles.

Perfect pairings: what to serve with

• Lasagna soup is hearty and filling but you may also enjoy this meal with fresh garlic bread or a side salad to make it a complete meal.
• A great, colorful salad is a must as well. Make a big batch of this Greek Salad to serve on the side.
