Now, let's get cooking! Combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, tomatoes, marinara sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir and set your crockpot to low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. The beauty of using a slow cooker is that it does all the work for you while you go about your day.

The flavors meld together as the soup simmers away, creating a rich and hearty broth. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the box of broken lasagna noodles. This allows the pasta to cook directly in the soup, absorbing all the delicious flavors.

Make it Special: Lasagna Soup Toppings!

Now comes the fun part—toppings! When it comes to lasagna soup toppings, the options are endless. Dollop a spoonful of creamy ricotta cheese on top of each bowl for a touch of indulgence. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves to add brightness and freshness to each bite. Or added a little chili pepper if you like your Lasagna soup spicy.

Whether you're serving this soup for a weeknight dinner or a gathering with friends, it's sure to be a hit. The savory flavors of the marinara sauce, tender beef, and perfectly cooked pasta will have everyone coming back for seconds. Plus, the convenience of using a slow cooker makes it a great option for busy days or when feeding a crowd.
