With just 10 minutes of prep time, and 20 minutes of cooking and simmering time, this comfort food lasagna soup recipe is ready in 30 minutes. And it’s so easy!
Can I Make this as a Crock Pot Lasagna Soup Recipe?
Yes, you can make this in a Crock-pot for crockpot lasagna soup. Once the beef, onion, and garlic have been cooked on the stove, add them, plus the remaining soup ingredients to the crockpot (excluding the lasagna noodles and the spinach). You can cook on LOW for about 4 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Add the bite-size pieces of noodles and spinach in the last 30 mins of cooking, cook until tender, then top with a dollop of ricotta cheese mixture and serve. To make the soup extra decadent, consider adding a few of my Baked Italian Meatballs.

Easy Lasagna Soup with Italian Sausage — This easy, 30-minute lasagna soup gives you all the rich flavor of your favorite lasagna minus the work. Hearty and comforting, but not as heavy as lasagna! In the Freezer: This recipe will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. However, if you plan to freeze it, I suggest not freezing it with the noodles nor the cheese already in the soup. Boil a fresh batch of noodles, thaw the soup, and the noodles to it along with the a tablespoon or two of the cheese mixture. To Reheat: I use my microwave for quickness and ease and reheat my leftovers for about 30-60 seconds on high, or as needed. But you can use your stove top and a kettle if you prefer. Consider adding extra chicken broth as the soup will likely have thickened and the liquid volume gets soaked up by the noodles so some extra broth, to taste, will be a welcome addition.
