Instant Pot Easy Lasagna Soup

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!

Instant Pot Easy Lasagna Soup

My husband is the lasagna master in our house. He doesn’t cook much, but when we want lasagna, he makes it. It is awesome! I’ll have to get him to share his recipe one of these days. In the meantime, I decided to make a soup out of it.

More specifically, a lasagna soup made in the Instant Pot® electric pressure cooker.

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.

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!

Author: Sandy Clifton
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lbs Lean Ground Beef or Sausage (or do 1/2 and 1/2)
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 4" sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Basil, dried
  • 1 tsp Oregano, dried
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 5 cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
  • 4 oz Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 (28 oz) can Crushed Tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 (14 oz) can Tomato Sauce
  • 5 cups Chicken Broth (use 4 cups for a thicker soup)
  • 9 Lasagna Noodles, broken in small pieces, about 1.5"
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 + or - button (or dial) to choose 6 minutes.

  9. When the cook time ends and the pot beeps, do a Quick Release of the pressure. Start slowly, 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 was awesome 🙂 I used half ground beef and half hot italian sausage. I think I would add in a little bit more noodles next time, but this came out as the ultimate comfort food to enjoy. Would highly recommend and will definitely be making this again when I have a lasagna craving (but am obviously way too lazy to do the full lasagna in a pan).

    This is the first soup I’ve ever made, as well as the first time I used a pressure cooker. I was NOT disappointed! An amazing depth of flavour for essentially no effort. I made it veggie with Quorn mince and veg stock and put in broken up parpadelle pasta as I think our lasagne sheets are different to yours in the UK! Also I didn’t try the saute setting and just increased the cook time by 2 minutes. I’ll make this again and again I’m sure. Thank you so much for the recipe.

    So I made this with penne rigate pasta. No mushroom, no spinach, no cottage cheese/ricotta. Dried rosemary instead of fresh (and diced tomatoes instead of crushed only because I had these on hand). I probably should not have used the entire box of pasta (because it did not turn out very red or soupy like the pics) but it still turned out great! Will probably try to stick closer to the recipe next time just for comparisons. It’s very good either way! Thank you!!

    Any idea how many cups of pasta (fusilli) one could use instead of 9 lasagne noodles?

      Just guessing, but a lasagna noodle weighs about 1 oz, so maybe 9 oz of pasta? I have not tried this particular pasta with this recipe, but It might work well!

    Man was this good! I made it last night after a friend told me to give it a try and she was right! It was lick the bowl yummy! I used half ricotta and half cottage cheese but then added some cottage cheese to each of the bowls when serving and it was so good! Definitely going into the menu rotation in our house! BTW, I see that you have a pug named Gizmo. I have 2 pugs, Frank and Shadow, and a puggle named Tux. Pugs are just the greatest! 🙂

    I’ve made this soup several times; it’s delicious! Has anyone used regular pasta, like bow tie, instead of lasagna noodles? Are they too thin to withstand the pressure cooking?

      Hi Julie, I think bow ties would work well for this soup. I might take off a minute of cook time and see how they do. I’m glad you like this recipe! Thank you for your review.

    I’m pretty wary of the saute function on my Instant Pot. Made spaghetti sauce and as soon as I turned the pressure cook feature on, after sauteing the meat, a “BURN” notification light came on, and I had to transfer the sauce to the stove top. It was a mess. Do you know how I can avoid this?

      Hi Maureen, I feel like spaghetti sauce is better simmered than pressure cooked. But with tomatoes, even on the stove they can burn easily if unsupervised/stirred. For many pressure cooker recipes that have tomatoes/tomato sauce, if you put the tomatoes in last and don’t stir, it can help. The liquid will stay thinner, and less tomato will be touching the bottom of the pot.
