Gluten Free Crock Pot Lasagna Soup
Description
This dish begins by browning the ground beef to render excess fat. Then beef, onion, red bell pepper, diced and crushed tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and beef broth cook together in a crock pot for several hours. Near the end of cooking, uncooked gluten-free rotini pasta is added and simmered until tender.
The slow cooking melds flavors of tomato, beef, and herbs, while the pasta absorbs the broth, creating a thick and flavorful soup. The finishing touch is a spoonful of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, adding creamy, melt-in-the-mouth textures and rich cheese flavor.
This soup works well as a comforting gluten-free meal, suitable for cold days or when a filling but not heavy dish is desired. Serving portions are topped individually with cheeses for freshness.
Cooking times in crock pots vary; adjusting cook time is advised based on equipment. Leftovers keep well refrigerated in airtight containers for up to a week.
