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!

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ lbs Lean Ground Beef or Sausage (or do ½ and ½)
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 4" sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Basil, dried
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 5 cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
  • 4 oz Mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1 (28 oz) can Crushed Tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 (14 oz) can Tomato Sauce
  • 5 cups Chicken Broth (4 cups for thicker soup)
  • 9 Uncooked Lasagna Noodles, broken into about 1.5-inch pieces
To Finish
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese* (or Ricotta)
  • 1 box Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed (optional ingredient)
Garnish
  • Fresh Basil or Parsley Leaves
  • Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
  1. Turn pot on to Sauté function. When the display reads Hot, add the meat, bay leaf, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook until you can't see any pink in the meat, stirring occasionally. You shouldn't have to drain any fat if you used lean meat, but if there is too much, spoon some out.

  2. Add the onion, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, until onion starts to turn translucent, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

  4. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth. Stir well and let contents come to a simmer.

  5. Add the pasta and stir well. 

  6. Put the lid on and turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

  7. Turn off/cancel the Sauté function.

  8. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button (or dial) and then the +/ - button (or dial) to choose 6 minutes.

  9. When the cook time ends and the pot beeps, Let it sit and Naturally Release pressure for 5 minutes. Then Quick Release the remaining pressure. Start slowly, in bursts, to make sure no sauce comes out with the steam, then turn the steam release knob fully.

  10. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid. Stir the soup and separate any noodles that stuck together (sometimes I get a few). Then add the Parmesan and the mozzarella cheeses. Stir well and let melt. Then add the spinach and cottage cheese.

  11. Serve in bowls with fresh basil or parsley, and extra parmesan cheese.

Recipe Notes

*I prefer cottage cheese in my lasagna as I think the flavor is more savory, and the texture is creamier than ricotta. Use what you like!

    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.

      I have never used that kind of pasta (but it sounds great!). I read several reviews that stated to not precook it, just layer them in. I would try that. If they are too soft, you will know to cook a little less next time. If too al dente, cook a little longer. I'm going to buy some as the reviews are great, so thank you for the question!

        I used 1/2 box of the green lentil lasagna pasta noodles, brand name is Explore, and the 6-minute instant pot timing you suggested in the recipe and they came out perfect! Thank you, this is a very yummy recipe!
