Ok guys, I know it’s been awhile and I apologize but today I finally have a new PASTA recipe for you! Since it’s you know, in my blog name, it’s kind of important that I stay true to my love for pasta. And no worries because I still love pasta, but over the summer we did a ton of grilling out and meats and veggies and pasta kind of was put on the back burner. Well no worries because today it’s back on the front burner or rather in your crock pot with this Crockpot Lasagna Soup.
This soup was so good. When we were eating it Tyler said it reminded him of the bottom of a pasta casserole, you know all of the good soupy stuff at the bottom?! It was delicious and another bonus is it’s a crock pot meal and so easy to make. I love using my crock pot in the fall and winter because the cold weather just kind of screams crock pot meals to me!

We loved this recipe and it made enough that we had leftovers another night the same week. I love when I can get two meals from one. The soup was even better leftover! This crockpot lasagna soup will definitely be going into our rotation for dinner recipes.

This looks yummy! I love all things with pasta sauce, haha.
Hi, looks delicious, just one question. When do you add the 1 cup of water?
Add it when you add the pasta as well. I fixed the instructions to reflect that!
