Start by gathering your ingredients for the High-Protein Crockpot Lasagna Soup. Chop any vegetables you plan to use and measure out the ground turkey or beef. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

In your slow cooker, begin by placing the seasoned ground turkey or beef at the bottom. Next, pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, mixing well to combine.

Layer in any additional vegetables, such as zucchini noodles, ensuring that the heartiest items are on the bottom to cook thoroughly.

Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese over the meat and vegetable mix. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top, allowing it to melt beautifully during the cooking process.

Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Once done, check that the meat is tender and stir the soup to combine the layers well. Serve hot over zucchini noodles or your choice of pasta, garnishing with fresh basil.
