Lasagna Soup – Instant Pot

Lasagna Soup – All the delicious flavors from the classic lasagna in this easy one-pot recipe. I love this lasagna soup as a quick, filling and hearty weeknight meal. Stir in parmesan, ricotta and mozzarella cheese in the end as per your preference  to make it creamy or lighter dish.

We enjoy the traditional classic, lasagna and often make a large tray that is baked in the oven. Although the flavors are amazing, most weeknights are too busy to cook it in the traditional way. This is when I started making it as a one-pot soup which does not need pre-boiling the sheets and spending time layering. The soup also is a great way to make it more or less cheesy for a lighter meal. And because I cook with my children a lot, I prefer making this soup in the Instant Pot!

How can I make vegetarian Lasagna Soup?

• Simply skip the ground chicken and add diced zucchini, mushrooms or peppers instead.

How can the lasagna soup be made on stove top?

• Add an extra cup of water or broth along with the pasta noodles and cook the pasta uncovered for the cook time specified on the pasta package. Follow the remaining recipe as is.

Here are some of my other favorite Italian recipes using the Instant Pot:

• Spinach Mushroom Lasagna
• Pasta Caprese
• Pasta e Fagioli

Step by step EASY lasagna soup recipe made in the Instant Pot:

Recipe Notes

Note:

I have used Barilla Lasagne noodles in this recipe which has a stove top cook time of 8 minutes. To pressure cook the noodles aldente, I reduce the stove cook time into half. Hence the pressure cook time used in this recipe is 4 minutes.
