It’s one of my most used kitchen appliances, especially in the summer. I just love cooking in my Instant Pot.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Italian sausage – Either hot or mild. If you prefer ground beef, that’ll work too.
• Lasagna noodles – For the best results, don’t use gluten-free pasta.
• Ricotta cheese – Cottage cheese is a budget-friendly substitute for ricotta.

Cooking Pasta in the Instant Pot

Thanks to a short cooking cycle, the pasta is cooked right in with the soup. And, it doesn’t come out soggy.

You can easily make substitutions or additions to this Instant Pot recipe.

For example, sneak in some hidden veggies like chopped zucchini or squash. Picky eaters and your kids will never even notice. And, don’t be afraid of using chicken or turkey sausage.

How to Make Lasagna Soup in Instant Pot

Brown the meat. Start with your Instant Pot in the sauté mode. Brown the ground beef or sausage, onions, and bell pepper. This takes about 5 minutes.

Add the ingredients. Add the garlic and stir, sautéing until fragrant.

Then, everything but the cheese goes into the Instant Pot. Add the tomatoes and sauce, broth, water, seasonings, and pasta.

Pressure cook the lasagna soup. Secure the lid, twist the pressure release valve, and set it at high pressure for 4 minutes.

Let the lasagna soup naturally release for at least 10 minutes before doing a quick release. After it’s safe to open, lift the lid away from you to avoid the steam.

Ready to serve. Drop in the ricotta cheese and stir to let it melt. Top with parmesan cheese, then serve.

Recipe Variations

• To make this a vegetarian or vegan lasagna soup recipe, use Impossible ground beef or Beyond crumbles in place of the sausage. You can also omit the meat altogether.
• Add some chopped zucchini or squash to the mix. It’s a great way to sneak in some extra nutrition.
• Use ground chicken or ground turkey sausage instead of beef or pork sausage.
• Add a can of corn, drained.

• Use fire roasted tomatoes for extra flavor.
• Stir in a cup of spinach or kale when you add the ricotta cheese.
• Top with crispy bacon bits or fried sage leaves.
• Add some spice with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

Serving Suggestions

Of course, you can eat this one pot lasagna soup as is. But, it’s even better with some crusty bread or garlic bread on the side. It’s delicious for dunking crusty bread into. We recommend French bread or Sourdough bread.

Storing and Reheating Leftover Soup

Leftover lasagna soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. You may need to add a splash of water or broth to thin it out if it’s too thick.
