Instant Pot Lasagna Soup (1)

Instant Pot lasagna soup is a great way to enjoy the flavors of lasagna without spending hours cooking. This easy soup takes just minutes to prep, and it's ready in about 30 minutes.

The soup makes a quick weeknight dinner. It also keeps well, so it makes a tasty make-ahead dinner.

What you'll need to make Instant Pot lasagna soup

  • Ground Italian sausage: Either hot or mild will work, so choose the level of heat that you prefer.
  • White or yellow onion
  • Garlic
  • Chicken stock: You can also use chicken broth. Feel free to use reduced-sodium chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Mafalda pasta: Mafalda pasta may also be called mini lasagna noodles. If you substitute another type of pasta, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Italian seasoning
  • Marinara sauce: Choose a marinara sauce that has plenty of flavor. Rao's is a great choice.
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Tomato paste
  • Salt and ground black pepper: I like to season after cooking because you'll get a truer sense of the flavors at that point.

Tips

  • I don't recommend using ground beef in this recipe as it doesn't have as much flavor as Italian sausage.
  • If you can't find ground Italian sausage, then remove the casings from Italian sausage links.
  • It's important not to stir in the pasta or the tomato as it can give you a burn notice.
  • I recommend choosing a marinara sauce that you like as it will provide quite a bit of the soup's flavor.

Serving suggestions

Serving the soup with a scoop of ricotta cheese gives it a bit of creaminess. I recommend a bit of grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chopped basil for a bit of freshness.

I serve the soup with either crusty bread or garlic knots and a green salad on the side.

Storage

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The soup will keep for up to 4 days when properly stored in the fridge.
