Stop what you are doing right now to make this easy one pot meal!  This healthy instant pot lasagna soup is all the things you love about lasagna with half the work. Easy, flavorful, cooked in a slow cooker or pressure cooker.

Traditional lasagna will always be one of those recipes that I love to eat. There is something about layers of meat, cheese, and noodles, and a really good tomato sauce that I love. When you throw in basil, ricotta, and parmesan, you might as well strap in, because I am going to be here awhile.

However, real life reminds me that I do not always have time for things like making a lasagna from scratch. But I do always have time for this lasagna soup recipe. It is so much easier to make in soup form, but you do not lose any of the delicious flavor. Whether you make this a crock pot lasagna soup or an instant pot lasagna soup, the amount of work required of you is going to be minimal, especially for the payoff.

How to Make Lasagna Soup

Don’t let the number of ingredients in this instant pot lasagna soup fool you, it is not hard to make at all. And if you are feeling intimidated, simplify things and use a spaghetti sauce instead of the tomatoes and spices. Done. Simple. Delicious.

Now I like it a little better, and think it is healthier instant pot lasagna soup when you make your own base, rather than use a spaghetti sauce, but I am always a proponent of simplifying life.

 

Pressure Cooker/Instant Pot Lasagna Soup

You can make Crockpot lasagna soup or Instant pot, instructions for both are included. I love a good slow cooker lasagna soup recipe. However, the instant pot is so quick. The noodles cook in just 4 minutes of pressure, and you can stir everything together, and have a wonderful meal in under 30 minutes. Because you can brown the meat using the sauté feature, it is a true one pot meal. 

Tips: 

• After browning meat be sure to deglaze your instant pot, meaning use liquid with heat to clean the stuck on brown bits off the bottom of the pan. If you don’t do this, your pot may never come to pressure because it may read “burn”.
• Natural release for 10 minutes to let the noodles finish cooking, then quick release.
• Don’t forget the toppings! The cheese mixture topping and the fresh herbs.

Crock Pot Lasagna Soup

Using a crock pot or slow cooker to make your lasagna soup is a great idea if you want to get it started and then forget about it for the day, and come home to a delicious meal. I love crock pot soups, one pot soups, and lots of flavor with very little work.

The trick with making slow cooker lasagna soup is giving yourself enough time to let the noodles soften without getting too soggy. If you are stressed about the noodles not cooking properly, or can’t get the timing right, you can cook them separate and toss them in at the end. But if you give yourself 30 minutes or so to let them soften, you will have great lasagna soup!
