This Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup simplifies the classic Italian dish into a delicious, comforting bowl that’s perfect for busy weeknights and Weight Watchers followers alike.
- 1 lb Ground Beef (Opt for 93% lean for a healthier, WW-friendly option.)
- 4 cups Beef Broth (Low-sodium works best to keep the flavors rich but balanced.)
- 12 oz Lasagna Noodles (Whole-wheat or gluten-free varieties work perfectly if you want a healthier option.)
- 1/2 Onion diced (Adds sweetness and depth to the soup.)
- 1 Bell Pepper, diced (For an extra layer of flavor and color.)
- 1 can Crushed Tomatoes (28 oz. This provides the base for the rich tomato flavor.)
- 1 can Petite Tomatoes diced (14.5 oz)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (A flavorful blend that brings all the classic Italian herbs together.)
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic: (Because garlic makes everything better.)
- 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese (Use part-skim for a lighter version, still creamy and rich.)
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (Low-fat parmesan keeps it cheesy while reducing fat.)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Part-skim mozzarella adds that gooey, melty top!)
-
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
-
- Transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker. Add diced onion, bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
-
- Add the beef broth to the slow cooker and stir everything together.
-
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the flavors have blended.
-
- About 30 minutes before serving, break the lasagna noodles into bite-size pieces and add them to the slow cooker. Stir well and cook on high until noodles are tender.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and parmesan. Let the heat from the soup melt the cheese before serving.
