Lasagna Soup

Step-by-step instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Lasagna Soup:

1. Start by browning the Italian sausage in your slow cooker until it’s nicely cooked through.
2. Next, stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, water, minced garlic, and all of the seasonings.
3. Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours.
4. About 30 minutes before serving time, add in the bowtie pasta, giving it a gentle stir to combine.
5. Once the pasta is perfectly tender, serve the warm soup topped with creamy ricotta, grated Parmesan, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Best ways to enjoy it

When serving Lasagna Soup, consider a rustic bread for dipping or a fresh side salad for added crunch. A sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top brings an authentic Italian touch, while a drizzle of olive oil can elevate the flavors even more.

Storage and reheating tips

If you have leftovers (which is unlikely, but hey, just in case!), store your soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight and warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Helpful cooking tips

• For richer flavor, try using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
• If you want a little heat, add crushed red pepper flakes along with the seasonings.
• To make the soup extra creamy, stir in more ricotta just before serving.

Creative twists

Are you looking to mix things up? You can easily customize your Lasagna Soup by adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrients. Consider trying ground turkey instead of sausage for a healthier option, or make it vegetarian by using lentils and vegetable broth.
