• For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or cooked lentils.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
• Stir in fresh basil or parsley just before serving for a burst of freshness.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to loosen the soup if it has thickened. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.

FAQs

Can I make this soup without a crock pot?

Yes, you can prepare this soup on the stovetop by simmering all ingredients (except pasta and cheeses) in a large pot for about 30 minutes. Add the pasta later and cook until tender.

Is this soup freezer-friendly?

It’s best to freeze the soup without the pasta and cheeses. Freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months, then add fresh pasta and cheese when reheating.

Pasta & Cheese Toppings

• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

3. Cook Slowly: Cover the crock pot and cook the mixture on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
4. Add Pasta: Stir in the uncooked gluten free rotini pasta. Cover again, switch the crock pot setting to high, and continue cooking for 20 to 40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but not mushy. The timing depends on your preferred noodle firmness.
5. Serve with Cheese: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with about a tablespoon of ricotta cheese and a generous handful of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses for a creamy, cheesy finish.
6. Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, comforting gluten free lasagna soup that’s sure to please the entire family.

Notes

• You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein if preferred.
• Adjust Italian seasoning quantity based on your taste preference for herbs.
• If you don’t have a 6-quart crock pot, adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly to fit your cooker size.
• Check pasta tenderness periodically toward the end of cooking to avoid overcooking the noodles.
• For a dairy-free option, omit cheeses or use plant-based cheese alternatives.
