Crockpot Lasagna Soup Ingredients
You will recognize a lot of the ingredients in this hearty slow cooker soup from making traditional lasagnas. You won’t be surprised to see this slow cooker soup recipe calls for lasagna noodles, tomatoes, ricotta and mozzarella, garlic, and herbs. Other ingredients include white wine, red pepper flakes, vegetable stock, and Italian sausage.
There are various substitutions you might like to make depending on the ingredients you already have and your preferences. Take the Italian sausage, for example. You can use sweet or spicy or even sub another kind of sausage or ground meat altogether.
There’s already quite a bit of garlic in this slow cooker soup recipe (garlic salt as well as minced cloves!) but you can add even more if you’re a garlic fan. Or, if not, leave it out and use a pinch of regular salt in place of the garlic salt.
White wine and vegetable broth make up most of the liquid in this best slow cooker lasagna soup. Don’t want to use white wine? You can use red or even rose wine for a slightly different flavour. Else use tomato juice, water or broth, but bear in mind you might have to adjust the seasonings if you do this. Adding more broth would make the soup saltier, for example, so use less salt. You can always adjust the seasonings later on.
Can You Make It Keto Friendly?
Something else that’s great about this hearty slow cooker soup is you can make it low carb if you want. These Palmini keto friendly lasagna ‘noodles’ are perfect for making either traditional lasagna or a lasagna soup recipe. Add them at the same time you would add the pasta noodles and they will soften a bit. Add them earlier if you want them softer.
Crockpot Lasagna Soup Preparation
So how exactly do you make the best slow cooker lasagna soup? Like many slow cooker recipes, this one is pretty straightforward. First you will brown the Italian sausage and then drain it and put it in the crockpot. Add the onions, tomatoes, wine, and red pepper flakes, plus some salt and black pepper, to the sausage drippings left behind in the pan and sauté. Add the garlic and cook a little more, then you can transfer this into the crockpot too.
Add the broth and seasonings then cook this easy crockpot Italian dinner on low for 6 hours. Add the lasagna noodles and cook for 20 minutes, then add the kale and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Mix together the cheeses, herbs, cream, and garlic salt and serve the finished slow cooker soup recipe in bowls with a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the middle.
You can serve extra shredded cheese for this lasagna soup recipe at the table so people can add more if they want. I am always very generous when topping Italian dishes with plenty of cheese! There’s no such thing as too much, especially with this wonderful crockpot lasagna soup. Are you ready to experience the best slow cooker lasagna soup ever? I’m sure you’re going to love this delicious dish!

We’re not a big fan of kale – would it make a big difference in taste to leave it out? I’ve never had lasagna with kale.
You could leave it out or substitute for spinach if you like.
