Creating the perfect Crockpot Lasagna Soup is a breeze with these simple steps:

1. Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
3. Combine Ingredients: In your crockpot, combine the cooked meat mixture, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
4. Cook: Set the crockpot to high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
5. Add Noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup. Stir to ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
6. Add Cheese: Once the noodles are tender, stir in the ricotta cheese until well mixed. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, cover, and let it melt.
7. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, it’s time to serve your delicious soup!

These straightforward instructions will lead you to a comforting and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
