Tips for the Best Lasagna Soup:
- Sausage Selection: We used Honeysuckle White turkey sausage for a lighter option, but Italian sausage (pork or beef) works beautifully too. Adjust the amount to your preference.
- Noodle Control: Don’t overcook the noodles! They will continue to soften in the soup. Adding them in the last hour or so of cooking is ideal.
- Cheese, Please!: Don’t skimp on the mozzarella! It adds a creamy, melty texture that takes this soup to the next level.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a little kick.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I use different types of noodles? Yes! Rotini, penne, or even broken spaghetti will work in a pinch.
- Can I make this soup ahead of time? Absolutely! The flavors will meld even more beautifully overnight. Just add the mozzarella before serving.
- Can I freeze this soup? Yes, but the noodles may become a bit softer. It’s best to freeze the soup without the noodles and add them when reheating.
- What can I serve with this soup? A side of crusty bread for dipping, a simple salad, or garlic knots are all great options.
- Is this recipe gluten-free? You can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free lasagna noodles.
Get ready to enjoy a bowl of pure comfort! This Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup is a weeknight winner that the whole family will adore.
