Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Cheese

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese blend

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped)

Liquids and Sauces

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, canned or fresh
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Starches and Thickeners

  • 1 cup pasta noodles (regular or gluten-free)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Bacon: Chop the onions and garlic finely. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Sauté the onions and garlic in the bacon drippings until fragrant and translucent to build a flavorful base.
  2. Layer Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Transfer the cooked onions, garlic, and bacon pieces into the slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), chopped spinach or kale, oregano, basil, and natural gelling agent. Stir gently to combine all ingredients well.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Set the slow cooker to low and let the soup cook for 4 to 6 hours. This will develop deep flavors and allow the soup to thicken to a creamy consistency.
  4. Add Pasta and Plant-Based Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the pasta noodles along with the shredded plant-based cheese blend. This timing ensures the pasta cooks perfectly and the cheese melts smoothly without becoming gummy.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Once the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted, taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished as desired, and enjoy your comforting bowl of Slow Cooker White Lasagna Soup.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like oregano and basil to enhance flavor brightness.
  • Add pasta toward the end to avoid overcooked, mushy noodles.
  • Sauté aromatics in bacon drippings to layer rich flavors before slow cooking.
  • Gently stir soup midway through cooking for even flavor distribution.
  • Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to achieve your preferred soup thickness.
