Instant Pot Lasagna Soup
Description
Instant Pot Lasagna Soup begins by sautéing Italian sausage with onions and garlic until partly cooked, then simmering it with diced tomatoes, broth, water, spaghetti sauce, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and broken lasagna noodles under pressure. The pressure cooking tenderizes the noodles and melds the flavors thoroughly.
The blend of herbs like basil and oregano along with the sausage delivers a robust, Italian-inspired taste. The broken lasagna noodles create a pasta texture throughout the soup, while the tomato-based sauce gives it a rich, hearty body. Finishing bowls with shredded mozzarella adds creamy melted cheese typical of traditional lasagna.
This soup serves well as a quick dinner, satisfying cravings for classic lasagna in a casual, easy-to-eat form. Optional garnishes like parsley or substitutions for different cheeses allow customization. It can be varied using different ground meats or spaghetti sauce types to suit preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- ½ c. onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 diced tomatoes 14.5 oz each, canned
- 2 basil
- 2 garlic
- 2 oregano
- 2 c. beef broth low sodium
- 2 c. water
- 24 oz spaghetti sauce jar
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
- 8 oz lasagna noodles broken
- 1 c. mozzarella cheese shredded
- parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute and add the olive oil. When hot, add the Italian sausage and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon or spatula. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent the sausage from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When Italian sausage is partly cooked, about 2-3 minutes, add the onions and garlic and continue cooking for about 4-5 more minutes, until onions are soft and meat is no longer pink.
- Add tomatoes, broth, water, spaghetti sauce, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and broken lasagna noodles. Place the lid on the pot and flip the valve to "sealing." Cook over manual high pressure for 6 minutes.
- When the time is up on the Instant Pot, perform a quick release. When all of the steam has escaped and the pin on the lid has dropped, open the lid. Divide the soup into bowls and top each with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Notes
- Italian sausage can be used mild or spicy according to taste preferences.
- Substitute sausage with ground beef, turkey, or chicken for different flavor variations.
- Choose a tomato-based spaghetti sauce you enjoy, as it influences the soup’s character.
- Mozzarella cheese melts well for topping but try Parmesan, Asiago, or Romano for added cheese flavor.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can be chopped and sprinkled on the soup before serving for added freshness.
