Instant Pot Lasagna Soup brings all the comforting flavors of classic lasagna into a quick, one-pot soup format. With layers of marinara sauce, seasoned ground beef or turkey, broken lasagna noodles, and a creamy ricotta finish, this dish is perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil (optional, for very lean beef or if using turkey)

1–1.5 pounds lean ground beef or ground Italian sausage (or ground turkey for a lighter option)

1 yellow onion, diced

5 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

2 cups marinara sauce

1 15 oz can diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

8 lasagna noodles (broken into bite-sized pieces)

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 cup ricotta

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup grated mozzarella

Optional garnish:

Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Turn on the Instant Pot and set it to ‘Sauté’ mode. Add the olive oil (if using) and ground beef or sausage. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). If using turkey, add oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
  3. Stir in the chicken broth, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, parsley, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot. Stir gently to ensure noodles are submerged.
  5. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to ‘Sealing.’ Select ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ mode and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, carefully perform a quick release by turning the valve to ‘Venting.’
  7. Stir in balsamic vinegar, ricotta, and Parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and top with mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Vegetarian option: Use plant-based ground meat and vegetable broth. Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for flavor.

Spicy lasagna soup: Add more red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño for extra heat.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop, adding extra broth or water if needed to loosen the soup.
