Lasagna Soup in the Instant Pot
Instant Pot Easy Lasagna Soup is for you if you love lasagna, and you also love soup! No oven required, and you can have it ready much faster than baked lasagna. With a thick, tomatoey broth and lots of flavor, pressure cooker lasagna soup is comfort food in a bowl!
You can use any electric pressure cooker to make this Instant Pot Lasagna Soup. If your PC has a sauté or browning feature, that would be best.
The best part of this easy instant pot recipe is that it takes a fraction of the time to make it in the pressure cooker as opposed to slow cooking it or making it on the stove. You would be surprised that you can make almost any dish in the instant pot, even a classic lasagna.
This is a one-pot meal, and is so easy to make! Just brown the meat and onions, add the rest of the ingredients in the order of the recipe, and pressure cook it.
This lasagna soup is pretty thick, so keep that in mind. If you want more soupiness, add more broth.
I hope you love this easy pressure cooker Lasagna Soup as much as we do! Serve it with some tasty garlic bread so you can sop up the sauce!

This is so delicious and easy. I made it as written except the spinach. Made it for my family Sunday dinner and it was a hit.
Easy and delicious 🙂 I’ve found it very adaptable when I don’t have quite the right ingredients or spices on hard – still comes out great.
I tweaked the recipe a little as we don’t like mushrooms or spinach. We love noodles so I used a bowtie pasta and added more broth for the extra noodles. This recipe is wonderful.
So good and thick. The taste is beyond amazing.
