Add 4 cups bone broth, 2 14.5 ounce cans petite diced tomatoes and 3 Tablespoons tomato paste. Stir to combine.
Break 8 pieces lasagna noodles into pieces, add them to the Instant Pot and push them under the broth so they are submerged.

After 4 minutes, let Instant Pot natural release for 10 minutes then quick release any remaining pressure.

Notes
Storage
This soup will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. However, the noodles will absorb some of the cooking liquids and your soup will become thick. To loosen it up, add some additional chicken stock or water. Or, you can make the soup and noodles separate, then when you are ready to serve, simply stir in your cooked noodles.
Variations
For even more flavor, try swapping in some sausage for the ground beef.
For a lightened up version, try using ground turkey.
For vegetarian lasagna soup, use sauteed mushrooms and zucchini in place of the meat or use a meat substitute like impossible burger.
For extra veggies, stir in some baby spinach at the end of the cook time.
