Slow Cooker Pizza and Pasta Soup is a meal your whole family will love!
This Hearty Soup has pizza supreme flavors with bow-tie pasta and even better that this meal is a freezer meal friendly! Also, try my Crockpot Lasagna Soup.
This Slow Cooker Pizza and Pasta Soup recipe was originally going to be lasagna soup, then I had a wild idea to add pepperoni then the entire recipe changed. Supreme pizza flavors are in this soup: beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and olives.
This meal could be made the morning of or could be made into a freezer meal. I made 2 of these meals at once, one for a busy Monday dinner and the other I tucked away in the freezer for later in the month. We also make Slow Cooker Pizza Chicken!
I top this soup with mozzarella cheese. I wish I had bought French bread to go with this, that would have been so good dipped into the soup.
Here are my favorite freezer meals:
- Slow Cooker Teriyaki Beef
- Slow Cooker Orange Drumsticks
- Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken and White Bean Soup
- Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Meatloaf

This is a family favorite, especially for my grandkids! I have modified the recipe a bit which includes adding Italian sausage, small meatballs and Parmesan cheese. I omit the mushrooms since most of the family does not like them. I also use a 24 ounce jar of sauce and reduce the water a little bit. I make garlic bread and salad with it. We love it!
Could you use pizza sauce instead of marinara sauce?
Yes, pizza sauce would work great.
Are there any instructions for if you just want to make it without doing a freezer prep?
Or you just dump everything in except the pasta, and cook on low for 8 hours?
Yes, you have that info correct.
Can this be done on high for a shorter amount of time?
Hi! Maybe a silly question but I’m making this to freeze for later. Do I add the 4 cups of water to the freezer bag?
I do! If you think it won’ fit or want to save room, you can leave it out.
