Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
Description
This Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup starts by browning ground meat along with diced onion and garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper. The mixture is combined in a slow cooker with green bell pepper, chopped carrots, a blend of thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary, bay leaves, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. The soup cooks on low for several hours to let flavors meld.
Approximately 30 minutes before serving, broken uncooked lasagna noodles are stirred in to cook until al dente, giving the soup its signature pasta texture. The soup can be served with grated Parmesan, mozzarella, and chopped parsley to enhance its rich and savory character. The slow cooking method develops depth in the broth and softens vegetables.
