Notes

Tips for Making in Advance
If you want to make this easy crockpot lasagna recipe in advance, here’s a few helpful tips:
To freeze: let cool completely then store in freeze-safe bags or an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. However, I recommend not adding the noodles and waiting until you are ready to serve. When ready to serve, heat the soup and add in the noodles separately right before serving. Also, I recommend waiting to add the cheese until right before serving as cheese does not freeze and thaw well.
Reheating soup tip: If you are eating leftover soup the next day, you might notice that the noodles have absorbed some (or almost all) of the liquid. You can easily add more broth in when reheating to make this soup more "soupy" or if you know you are going to be meal prepping this lasagna soup recipe or eating leftovers, you can alternatively choose to leave the noodles out when initially cooking and prepare them separately. Then just add the cooked lasagna noodles as you wish.
Follow the recipe instructions up to step 5, but do NOT add the broken noodles (you can add the spinach if you wish or stir it in individually). Let the soup cool to room temperature and store in the fridge or place in freezer for up to 3 months.
When ready to serve, you can reheat the soup on the stovetop or in the Crockpot. Add in the broken noodles and cook until noodles are tender. Or, you can cook the lasagna noodles separately and add them in when ready to eat.
