Instant Pot Lasagna Soup tastes just like lasagna without all the work. Your electric pressure cooker makes it super simple.
Sometimes you want lasagna without all the work.
Instead of reaching for a frozen lasagna, may I suggest this Instant Pot Lasagna Soup instead?
It’s quicker than making a full-on lasagna, but it’s so much tastier than the kind you’d pick up in the freezer section.
I previously made this soup on my stovetop, but now that the Instant Pot has entered my life, this is definitely my preferred way of making it. With just 10 minutes of prep work and 10 minutes of cook time this Instant Pot Lasagna Soup will be on your table.
Be sure to account for the time it takes for the pressure to build and release in your pressure cooker too, which will probably be around 25 minutes. But the good part is, that part of the process is totally hands off. Which means you have some bonus time to open up that bottle of Italian red wine and have a few sips…
It also leaves you with time to mix up what may just be the best part of this lasagna soup – the creamy ricotta-mozzarella-parmesan cheese mixture that gets spooned over your warm bowls of soup. That little dollop of cheese melts into it perfectly and makes this soup so delicious and creamy. You will love it!
How Do You Make Instant Pot Lasagna Soup?
- Start by browning up some ground beef.
- Add in some onion and garlic and let it soften.
- Then, add in lots of Italian spices, broth, and broken up lasagna noodles.
- Make sure the noodles are all submerged.
- Seal the Instant Pot and set it for 4 minutes. Let it cook away while you make the yummy cheese topping and open that bottle of wine.

This looks so good, and I can’t wait to make it. One question–if I leave it on the Keep Warm setting for an hour or so, will the noodles get too mushy or absorb too much of the liquid?
Hi Judy – It should be ok for an hour, but any more than that, I think the noodles will definitely become mushy.
