Slow-Cooker Lasagna Soup
Every fall and winter, our staff has a soup rotation. I have modified this recipe so I can prep it the night before and put it in the slow cooker in the morning. My colleagues love it! —Sharon Gerst, North Liberty, Iowa

Love this soup. Made as written except substituted dice zucchini for carrots. Breaking lasagna into pieces was messy and uneven. second time around used bow ties. It's a keeper.
Everyone loved this easy slow cooker soup! I substituted ground beef for the Italian sausage, because that's what I had on hand. Since I wanted to make more soup than the recipe called for, I used a large jar of marinara sauce instead of the tomato sauce and increased the carrots, garlic and added a few more lasagna noodles. Will definitely make this soup again!
Delicious and easy to prepare. I recommend cooking the broken lasagna noodles separately. Some of mine clumped together. Cooking them separately and adding at the end also will speed up the process. I made 1/.4 recipe to test this soup and was sorrow I had not made more. A keeper!

Very good. I will make again. My husband isn't a fan of soups. I asked him while he was eating the soup how it was and he didn't have any complaints. I used one quart of my home canned tomatoes (what I had on Hand) and two cans of mushrooms because I did not have any fresh ones. Already made two containers for lunches next week.
I love any recipe that goes into the slow cooker! This is a flavorful soup. We really enjoyed it. I topped ours with a spoonful of ricotta cheese!
This is my #1 recipe to make for company. It's easy, artisanal-level taste, and it frees your evening so you can actually visit. I haven't had a single person over yet who doesn't love this soup. Plus it freezes well and is great for lunches.
Used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce. Used beef broth instead of chicken.
My husband and I loved this recipe. I used half sage sausage and half a spicy sausage. I will definitely be making this again.
