Notes

Freezing Lasagna Soup

This soup will freeze nicely WITHOUT the pasta or cheese mixed in. I sometimes make a double batch, then freeze half in a freezer safe container. To thaw, just add it to a saucepan and heat. Then, I'll cook extra noodles and add them and the cheese to the soup.
  • Instant pot lasagna soup - Place the soup setting on and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. The soup button will simmer the soup. Add the pasta and cheese at the end.
  • Crockpot lasagna soup - Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker except for cheese and the pasta. Cook on high for three hours or on low for five hours. Once ready to serve, add in cooked pasta and serve with cheese on the side.
