How to make the best crockpot lasagna soup!
Cook your Italian sausage and chop your onion: Over medium heat fully cook your Italian sausage. Chop up your onion and set aside.
Add your ingredients to the crockpot: Turn your crockpot on high and add in your marinara sauce, fully cooked Italian sausage, and chopped onion. Next, you’re going to add your garlic cloves and seasonings. Lastly, you’ll pour in your chicken broth.
Cook: Stir to combine and let cook for 3 hours on high or 5 hours on low.
Add in remaining ingredients: After 3 hours you’ll want to pour in the heavy cream. Break your lasagna sheets into smaller pieces and add to the crockpot. Add in your mozzarella cheese and stir to combine.
Cook: Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes until the lasagna noodles are fully cooked.
Make the ricotta topping: In a bowl mix together your ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning until combined.
Add Ricotta topping: After 30 minutes dollop the ricotta topping over the top and cook until creamy.
Serve: Pour into bowls and serve with your favorite cheeses.
Some of my favorite cheeses I like to add to the top of my bowl are fresh mozzarella or fresh parmesan cheese, but if you’re looking for the quicker and cheaper option then prepackaged mozzarella (that you can shred yourself) and grated parmesan cheese will taste great too! Also, you can switch it up and use Mafalda noodles too. How fun would it be to use basically mini lasagna noodles!
