Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 can petite diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 6 cups beef broth
Pasta & Cheese Toppings
- 12 oz gluten free rotini pasta
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef thoroughly until no pink remains. Drain off any excess grease to keep the soup from becoming too fatty.
- Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot: Add the browned ground beef, diced onion, diced red bell pepper, petite diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and beef broth to a 6-quart crock pot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
