Healthy Instant Pot Lasagna Soup (vegetarian and meat option)
Description
Healthy Instant Pot Lasagna Soup combines diced onions, minced garlic, dried basil, and spices sautéed in olive oil, then layered with diced and crushed tomatoes, vegetable stock, and water. Broken lasagna noodles are added directly to the pot, followed by pressure cooking for four minutes. After natural pressure release, baby spinach is stirred in until wilted, and fresh mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses are folded in to add creamy texture.
The meat option integrates ground turkey cooked alongside the vegetables before adding liquids and noodles, offering a higher protein content. Seasoning with crushed red pepper adds a mild heat to balance acidity from the tomatoes.
This soup replicates the layered flavor of lasagna within a quick single pot preparation. It serves as a hearty, comforting meal with the combination of pasta, cheese, and tomato base. Freshly grated cheese can be added at serving for extra richness.
Nutrition details differentiate portions by vegetarian and meat versions, making it suitable for those tracking calories or macros.
