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 was absolutely delious
This was great! It might be a while before I make traditional lasagna again 🙂
Looking forward to making this! I have the dried McCormick organic crushed rosemary. Any idea how much I should add in place of the sprig? Thanks!
About 1 tsp
Just made it today. Very delicious!!! My family loves it! My 8 year old asked for seconds…lol definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing the recipe
Can leftovers be frozen
Yes.
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).
I halved this recipe for my mini instant pot and it turned out delicious! I used an 8 oz can of tomato sauce and a 14 oz can of chicken broth, otherwise pretty much half of the other ingredients. And nonfat cottage cheese. My husband loved it!

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.
This was an awesome recipe! I cannot wait to make it again but first we must finish what we have. Absolutely delicious, easy to make and a hit with the family! Thank you for posting this 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!!
