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.

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.

Looking forward to trying this as a weeknight family meal for five (one of which is a fifteen year old, bottomless pit of a boy). Do you think it can easily be doubled? I’m still new to IP and wondered if I’d need to adjust times. Thank you!
Archana says
Hi Tamara, yes this can be doubled. Double all the ingredients and same pressure cook time.

I have been seeing so many instant pot recipes out there lately. I recently made Lasagna Soup on the stovetop but it would be interesting to try it a different way and compare. I love your photos! Absolutely gorgeous 🙂

How about using italian sausage and omitting the spinach?
Archana says
Sounds like a good idea!
Sue says
Hi – do you think the time would be the same using GF lasagna noodles?
Thanks
Archana says
Half the cooking time on the package minus 1 minute will work great for GF pasta
Petra Farmer says

If we are using frozen spinach, at what stage would you recommend adding it to the pot?
Archana says
I would still stir it in the end. May be the psinach will thaw a bit as the soup pressure cooks. Then you stir it in
