How To Make
The bold tomato flavor in this easy lasagna soup comes from the marinara sauce and diced tomatoes mixed together with the robust flavor of basil really brings that lasagna flavor to this soup.
One of the things I enjoy about the Instant Pot is I can sauté the meat in it. Sautéing the ground beef is how we start to make this lazy Instant Pot lasagna soup recipe. Once the ground beef is sautéd drain off any grease that there may be.
I like to add in my onion and garlic just before the ground beef is finished cooking. Sautéing the onion and garlic will help to bring out their flavors.
After I sauté the meat in the Instant Pot I like to deglaze the inner pot with broth or water. Deglazing the inner pot will help loosen up any food that may be stuck to the bottom of the pressure cooker. As well as help to not get the dreaded burn notice. It doesn't take much broth or water to deglaze the inner pot, I used ½ cup of the chicken broth for this recipe.
Once the ground beef has been fully cooked, add in the chicken broth and broken lasagna noodles. I like to push the lasagna noodles down into the broth with a spoon to get them as covered as I can.
On top of the lasagna noodles, add the marinara sauce and then the diced tomatoes. I do the marinara first so it can cover the noodles. As well as act as a barrier for the diced tomatoes. If the dice tomatoes are put in first there is a risk they will fall to the bottom of the inner pot and cause the burn notice.
Then sprinkle the seasonings on top. It's important to not stir the soup at this time.
Cooking Time For Lazy Lasagna Soup
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, press the pressure cooker button (make sure it's set to high pressure) adjust the cooking time to 6 minutes. If your Instant Pot doesn't self-seal then make sure to turn the steam release knob to sealing.
It will take about 20 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure and start the cooking time.
After the cooking time is done stir in the balsamic vinegar, ricotta, and parmesan cheese until the cheese melts into the soup. Then sprinkle on top of the soup the mozzarella cheese.
Let the cheese sit on top of the soup to melt some, I like to place the lid back onto the pressure cooker for a couple of minutes. The cheese will be nice and melted on top of the soup. Ladle this lazy lasagna soup into a soup bowl and enjoy.
Tips For Success
I do recommend deglazing the inner pot with broth or water whenever sautéing meat in the Instant Pot. Taking the few extra minutes to deglaze will save you time fighting the burn notice. I also recommend making sure to add the ingredients in as they are listed in the recipe.
Make sure not to stir the ingredients together until the cooking time is up and you are ready to add in the remaining ingredients. All these tips will help save from getting the burn notice.
To help melt the mozzarella cheese place the lid back on to help trap in the heat allowing the cheese to melt. Once ladled into a bowl you can sprinkle more mozzarella cheese on top of the soup. I like to sprinkle the top of my lasagna soup with freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
Instant Pot lasagna soup is easy to reheat in the microwave but for best results reheat on the stovetop. If the lasagna soup is too thick after being refrigerated add in some chicken broth to help loosen it up.
Want to change the soup up a bit add in some fresh baby spinach. Or change out the ground beef for ground turkey, pork, or even chicken. Add more lasagna noodles in for an even heartier soup.
This Instant Pot Lasagna Soup has been a hit with my family, we hope you enjoy it as well.

I was excited to find this recipe as it looks So Good! But then I noticed the sodium in it....almost 1800mg of sodium! Many of us are on limited sodium diets. Is there a way to adapt this recipe to accommodate that population?

Lower sodium marinara sauce and chicken broth would be one way. Omitting the seasoning salt or replacing it with a lower sodium seasoning of your choice. Using no salt added tomatoes or freshly canned tomatoes would also help. I hope this is helpful.
