Lasagna Soup – Instant Pot

Lasagna Soup – All the delicious flavors from the classic lasagna with an easy one-pot recipe. This cozy, warm lasagna soup is quick, filling and makes a delicious 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. 

How can I make vegetarian Lasagna Soup?

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

Want the make lasagna soup on stove top?

• Simple 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.

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

• Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, parsley, oregano and bay leaf. Add lasagna pieces and salt. Stir everything well.

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.
