During the frigid winter months, there’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of soup. And if you had to exert hardly any effort to make the soup? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake. :-)
I’ve already extolled my love for my slow cooker for making all kinds of foods, from steak and potatoes, to broth and applesauce, but I’ve never fully illuminated the wonderful world of slow cooker soups—until today! I want to share a delicious recipe I came across recently for a heartwarming Lasagna Soup that the whole family will love, as well as highlight a few of our other favorite recipes for slow cookers soups.
How To Make Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground beef, cooked and drained
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3-5 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 15 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
- 6 oz campanelle or bowtie pasta (or 8 lasagna noodles broken into pieces)
- 1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
To your slow cooker, add the ground beef, onion, garlic, can of tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings, and chicken broth. Stir the mixture to combine, and cook on High for 4 hours.
After 4 hours, stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, and add the dry pasta noodles. If you’re using large or long noodles, break them into smaller pieces before adding them to the crockpot. Replace the cover and cook for 30 more minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
In a separate bowl, use a fork to combine the shredded mozzarella and ricotta.
When the soup is ready to serve, ladle it into bowls and add a large dollop of the ricotta mixture. (The cheese will melt one you stir it into the soup.) Sprinkle with a bit of fresh chopped parsley and dig in!
