Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage (see note 1)
- 1 large onion chopped (about 2 cups)
- 3 carrots peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes undrained
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced, optional (see note 2)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (see note 3)
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups water
- 8 ounces dry lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces (see note 4)
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese for topping
- fresh basil or minced freshly parsley, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine sausage, onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the sausage has browned and the vegetables have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain if desired.
- Meanwhile, to the slow cooker, add diced tomatoes and their juice, tomato sauce, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, basil, fennel, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper). Stir in water and sausage mixture.
- Cover and heat on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours. During the last 10 minutes of cooking time, stir in the pasta, cover, and continue to cook until softened. Serve with mozzarella cheese and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Italian sausage: Ground beef may be substituted for the Italian sausage. In a pinch, you could also chop up Italian sausage links.
- Mushrooms: Unless it's a Stuffed Mushrooms recipe, I feel like mushrooms are always optional (people either love them or hate them). Don't put them in if it will take away your joy. It's as simple as that.
- Italian seasoning: To make your own homemade Italian seasoning, combine equal parts of dried basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. Store extra seasoning covered in the pantry for up to 6 months.
- Lasagna noodles: Put those leftover lasagna noodles from your pantry to work in this Lasagna Soup. Just break the dry noodles into bite-sized pieces. Or, substitute any other small pasta (radiatori and rotini are my favorites here).
- Yield: This Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup recipe makes about 12 cups of soup, enough for 6 servings, 2 cups each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
