How To Make Instant Pot Lasagna Soup

Chop the onions and garlic. Set that aside. Take the sausage meat out of the sausage casing or use one pound of ground sausage. Set the Instant Pot to the saute function. Add the died onions, minced garlic, ground chicken, and two sausage links to the inner pot. Cook for 5-8 minutes until there is no pink left in the meat. Add the Italian seasoning to the meat.

When the meat is completely cooked, add the tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir the soup well, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any stuck on pieces with a wooden spoon or a large spoon. Add the broken lasagna noodles, and do not stir. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the cooking time to 5 minutes on manual high pressure. After 5 minutes of cook time, carefully quick pressure release the pressure.

Add the ricotta and balsamic vinegar to the Instant Pot and stir everything to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve the soup, topping each bowl with the mozzarella. Enjoy!

Variations Of Instant Pot Lasagna Soup

• If you don't have traditional lasagna noodles, use penne or ziti to make this a baked ziti soup or use your favorite type of pasta!
• Eliminate the sausage to make this soup a little healthier.
• Use ground turkey or lean ground beef instead of ground chicken. Add a little bit of olive oil to the Instant Pot to help saute the lean meat.
• Whole wheat lasagna can be used instead of regular lasagna noodles.
• Amp up the veggies! Add carrots, zucchini, or spinach to add some more healthy nutrients to the soup.
• Instead of a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, use 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce or tomato sauce. You can also use a tablespoon of tomato paste for a more intense tomato flavor.
• Top this soup with more ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese.

Tips and Tricks

• Don't forget to dunk sourdough bread or sourdough rolls into the soup.
• Be very careful when releasing the pressurized steam. Sometimes, broth can come out the pressure valve and spray hot soup. Make sure you have a kitchen towel handy just in case.
• Break up the lasagna noodles quite small. As they cook, they get bigger, and you don't want huge noodles in the soup, so make sure the lasagna pieces are cut into smaller pieces.
• Don't use no boil lasagna noodles as they will fall apart under the pressure of the Instant Pot.
