Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
You’ll start with some Italian sausage. I always can easily find the Jimmy Dean brand at most grocery stores, but feel free to use whatever brand you like best. Â If you like spicy go for spicy Italian sausage. If you are serving children you may want to opt for a mild sausage.

Easy Recipe for Slow Cooker (crockpot) Lasagna Soup
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 4 hours
- Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
Description
All the delicious flavors of lasagna in soup form! Plus, it’s made in the slow cooker so it’s super easy to make. We had this two nights in a row because we loved it so much.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage (mild or hot, it’s up to you)
- 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp basil
- 1/4 tsp marjoram
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans petite diced tomatoes
- 2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
- 3 cups water
- 4 tsp chicken bouillon granules (or 2 tsp shirley j chicken bouillon)
- 3 cups uncooked campanelle noodles (they look like little tiny lasagna noodles)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Grated mozzarella cheese
- Ricotta cheese
Instructions
- In a pan, brown the ground sausage and saute the onions and garlic at the same time. Drain off all grease. Rinse the meat in a colander with hot water to make sure all grease is rinsed off. Add to the slow cooker.
- Add the green pepper, garlic, thyme, basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf, brown sugar, tomatoes,tomato sauce, water and bouillon into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for about 4-6 hours.
- Discard the bay leaf. Cook the pasta over the stove top until al dente. Drain off the water and add the pasta to the slow cooker. If needed, season and salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into serving bowls and top with grated Parmesan and mozzarella and a dollop of ricotta cheese.

sorry! since I would have had to fry sausage in a skillet and boil noodles in a pot, I just said nevermind the crockpot and used my Dutch oven. Took 15 minutes and was so,so, so good!
★★★★★
Sounds awesome!
I thought the same thing. What’s the point of the slow cooker?
Yup! I am a great believer in Horses for Courses, there is probably an Air Fryer version of this somewhere.
I do however tend to get out my Instant Pot which runs a little high temperature for Slow Cooking to simmer a dish – on the Slow Cooker setting – instead of on the Stovetop if a greater than a short while is called for, but that is cos I am tight fisted and don’t like to waste money on electricity.

Could you please explain how a Dutch oven could cook all this in one pot?
Just started mine. I hope it is as good as it looks.
After adding the cooked noodles to the mixture, how long do you cook it?
Thanks!!
You can just serve it immediately.
Can this be made the night before? And can the noodles sit in the soup for about four hours before serving? We’re having a soup buffet at church so it would be about that length of time before the buffet is open
I would worry that the noodles would bloat and soak up all the liquid
Can you use chicken stock instead of bouillon?
yep!
Can I use beef bouillon broth or cubes?
Yes that would be just fine
Karen,
I’m allergic to chicken, is there any other bouillon that I could use?
beef bouillon is great
Hi, I have not made this yet. But I do have a question, about the chicken bouillon. Have you ever used “Better Than Bouillon”? If so, how much? Just wandering, before I go to the grocery store :). Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
★★★★
Instead of the chicken bouillon I would use a tablespoon of better than bouillon. It will work perfectly!
Where can I get Campanelle Noodles?
I find mine at Walmart or Smiths
yikes, I lost my printed copy and I came back to the site and the recipe changed! I commented a few years ago and I have made this numerous times so I know that I used to put the noodles into the crockpot uncooked! Well, it always worked like that for me, so I am sticking with it!
What all can you take out of the recipe if using jar spaghetti sauce?
I'd take out the tomato sauce if I were you!
Go to thrive market for you ingredients.. They’re non gmo,, And imported.. I ‘ve made this from a recipe from “Diners drive in’s & Dives”. You’ll find it far more superior than American store bought….
★★★★★
Good idea, Tanya!
I cheated and used 48 ounces of jar spaghetti sauce. It was perfect and took just minutes!

Patti,
Hooray!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🙂

I made this yesterday exactly per recipe except I had no marjoram.
And we were a little late getting to the table so pasta was in closer to 45 min, but soft like we like it 🙂
The four of us scraped the bottom of the crockpot to get it all – it was really good! It was thick and rich. I would have doubled it but I think it would have overflowed when I put the pasta in!
This looks so good, it will fit right in with all the cold nights coming up!
