Print Recipe

A warm and comforting lasagna soup that combines all the flavors of classic lasagna in a hearty, one-pot meal, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
  • 1-1.5 pounds lean ground beef or ground Italian sausage (sub 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 cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Turn on the Sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil if using. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s no longer pink—about 7-8 minutes.
  2. Discard any excess oil if necessary.
  3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for an additional couple of minutes until fragrant and softened. Turn off the sauté function.
  4. Pour a small amount of broth into the pot to deglaze, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the bottom.
  5. Add the remaining broth, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, parsley, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, and dried rosemary.
  6. Add the broken lasagna noodles, pushing them down into the liquid until just submerged.
  7. Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to high-pressure Manual for 6 minutes.
  8. Once the cooking time is complete, quick release the pressure carefully.
  9. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, ricotta, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Top with mozzarella cheese, then place the Instant Pot lid slightly askew to allow the cheese to melt.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
