Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 yellow onion (about 1 cup diced)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 14.5-ounce can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles (not the oven-ready kind)
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
  • ½ cup ricotta for topping
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat on the stovetop. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, breaking the meat up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Add the cooked meat mixture to a large slow cooker along with the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the crockpot. Stir until incorporated.
  • Place the lid on the crockpot and cook the soup on HIGH for 2 hours, or until the noodles are tender.
  • Remove the lid from the pot, add one cup of mozzarella cheese, and stir until fully combined.
  • Season the soup with more salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of ricotta, Parmesan cheese, and a few parsley leaves.

Notes

Start checking the noodles around the 90-minute mark if your slow cooker runs hot. You want them tender but not mushy.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The noodles will soak up liquid as it sits, so add a splash of broth when reheating.
Pairs well with fresh buttered bread or garlic bread.
