This easy Instant Pot lasagna soup is amazing and healthy!! You can make it in the slow cooker too but in your pressure cooker it’s done in just 8 minutes! Your favorite pasta dinner is now a soup and much easier to make.
Oh my goodness!! I just got an Instant Pot and this is my second recipe. I seriously cannot believe how quickly it cooks everything! I have made lasagna in the crockpot but thought I should try to make it as a soup in my new kitchen appliance. It came out amazing and in just 8 minutes from start to finish! Here’s how you make Instant Pot lasagna soup that’s healthy and tastes fantastic. 😉 It’s now one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes. (originally published 1/17, affiliate links present)
- Ok so it’s lasagna but you’re pressure cooking with different noodles. We love lasagna but with kids those wide lasagna noodles flip out of spoons and I hated precooking them.
You could easily use bow tie pasta noodles too. They would be a bit smaller than these when it’s done, but totally your choice. In order to make this lasagna soup recipe in just 8 minutes you need an Instant Pot.
If you don’t have a pressure cooker I highly recommend getting one.
One of my favorite parts of this 7 in 1 multi cooker pressure cooker is that you can brown your meat right in it. Then add everything else on top, snap the lid on and let it cook.
Before I had to dirty a pan on the stovetop to do this part, makes it so much easier!
This is what you’ll need to make this Instant Pot lasagna soup and a video showing you how we made it

How to make crockpot lasagna soup
- If you want to make slow cooker lasagna soup just pre cook your meat first.
- Then add all ingredients other than noodles and cheeses and cook on low all day (6 hrs or so).
- About 30 minutes before you’re going to eat put your noodles in.
- Submerge them into the liquid.
- Put crockpot on high
- Keep in longer if you want noodles more tender.
- Top with cheeses and serve!
I’ve used larger noodles you see here but prefer smaller ones like you see above.
You can use any brand too.
If you want to make Crock Pot Express lasagna soup use the directions below too.
- Want Ninja Foodi lasagna soup??? No problem. Use the pressure cooker function and then at the end you could use air crisp with some cheese on top!

05/03/2019 at 3:28 pmMy family loves lasagna soup and making it in the IP just made it even better on my end. They loved it!
Noelle says
05/03/2019 at 1:05 pmI love my instant pot and this recipe was great, will make again this weekend!
Kelly says
02/18/2019 at 10:46 amIt was to make, but next time I will make with less liquid. It was okay i taste, but I prefer my taco soup.

02/14/2019 at 10:50 amThis was the easiest recipe that I have ever made in the Instant Pot (or any pot for that matter). The flavors are amazing and it turned out wonderfully using the exact recipe posted here. I did have some leftover beef broth that I ended up using to complete the 40 ounces of broth (32 oz chicken and 8oz. beef). I did use broken lasagna noodles. Will serve with garlic toast and spinach salad.

Jennifer says
01/19/2019 at 4:52 pmMade this today added some Italian sausage . It came out great! Tastes like lasagna but not as heavy
Barbara says
01/17/2019 at 7:28 pmHave you tried it with gluten free noodles? Would I need to change the cook time?
Looks amazing, can’t wait to try!
Sim says
01/04/2019 at 1:02 pmIs it okay to use fresh diced tomatoes?
Effy says
09/07/2018 at 9:39 amJust bought my Insta Pot 6 qt – do I have to thaw my frozen ground beef before trying to saute it in the pot??
V says
11/04/2018 at 4:35 pmYou will have to thaw it or you can thaw/cook it in the IP then continue with the recipe. Put it on a trivet in the IP to make draining it easier. I’ve done my ground turkey like this before.
Melissa says
08/15/2018 at 5:04 pmI can’t get it to come to pressure. Any tips?
The Typical Mom says
08/18/2018 at 9:52 amWasn’t sealed all the way? Valve wasn’t closed all the way? Ring inside that seals is bad? Too much liquid in your pot? Didn’t press off after browning meat to allow pot to cool off before adding other ingredients?
Schere says
03/21/2018 at 2:52 pmDid you literally use 1.5 cups of pasta? Because the size pasta you use really matters on how much it turns out to be. 1.5 cups of tiny pasta would be a lot where as 1.5 cups of large pasta would end up being hardly any. Or did you possibly use 12oz and just convert it to say 1.5 cups?
Vickie says
03/19/2018 at 5:18 pmThis was delicious!! A new favorite and will make it again for sure!!

Rae says
03/13/2018 at 3:32 pmI have made this 2x before and making for a third time tonight!! I use different noodles and cook them separate to eat throughout the because it’s just me and my SO. Thank you for this awesome recipe!
The Typical Mom says

Kecia says
03/02/2018 at 3:08 pmThis was easy and delicious! Perfect for a good beginner pressure cooker owner, it was my third meal in mine!
Tiffany says
03/02/2018 at 3:13 pmMaking it tonight too- I’m trying to sub Zuchini for the pasta though

Linda Scott says
01/17/2018 at 9:31 amFound this recipe and tried it last night. It was a huge hit with everyone, including kids! I doubled the recipe ( I have the large sized IP) so we will have enough for tonight! I also used individual crock pot bowls and put them under the broiler to melt the cheese. (Think French onion soup type bowl). Delicious!!! I made some bread and a salad to complete the meal. I will be passing this one on to my friends that use the Instant pot. Thank you for such an easy recipe!
K Ann Guinn says
02/12/2018 at 10:47 amOh, good! I love to double the recipe; thanks for sharing that it fits in the 8 qt. IP!
Brianne says
04/10/2018 at 5:11 amDo you have to change the cook time to double?
The Typical Mom says
04/11/2018 at 4:07 pmNo but make sure to not fill your pot past 3/4 way full.
Mindi says
01/15/2018 at 3:37 pmWow! This is absolutely delicious! So easy and flavorful. ❤️
The Typical Mom says
01/16/2018 at 9:34 amOh so glad!!

The Typical Mom says
01/01/2018 at 9:12 amOh good!!
Kristen says
12/29/2017 at 7:22 amThis looks delicious! I’m a super newbie, so please forgive my question:
Do you slow release the steam AFTER the four minutes of cooking or DURING?
Thanks!
Kelly says
12/30/2017 at 12:44 pmAfter
Traci says
12/05/2017 at 3:01 amGreat recipe and tastes delicious.
I noticed the nutrional value is for one serving. How much is one serving?
Mary says
11/27/2017 at 7:11 amI made this Saturday and it tasted better, on Sunday. It’s an excellent winter soup. It’s so simple. Thank you for sharing it.
Mackenzie says
11/26/2017 at 9:14 amMy insta pot doesn’t have a manual setting, what do you I need to put it on?
The Typical Mom says
11/26/2017 at 2:48 pmHigh pressure.
Nicole Schroeder says
11/19/2017 at 8:15 pmCould this be made without any cheese? This looks delicious but I can’t have dairy.
Jeanne says
04/16/2019 at 2:03 pmMy daughter can’t have dairy. We add the cheese to our individual bowls so everyone can eat it.
The Typical Mom says
04/17/2019 at 9:42 amGreat idea!
Vic says
11/05/2017 at 9:51 pmHi, would love to try the recipe but have 2 questions:
1. We use whole wheat pasta – how much time do I have to add?
2. How many grams is a cup ? We use metric and my scales can convert oz but cup sizes vary so I’ve noticed…
Tracy LaRoche says
10/20/2017 at 6:30 pmDid you drain the grease from the hamburger after cooked?
The Typical Mom says
10/23/2017 at 8:47 pmYes I usually do.
Akke says
10/11/2017 at 12:16 pmThis sounds quite simple as I haven’t yet used my pressure cooker. I’m rather excited to try this!
Susan says
09/21/2017 at 8:57 pmVideo shows beef broth. Recipe shows chicken broth. I’m inclined towards the beef. Does anyone have a preference? This sounds like such a good and quick weeknight dinner!
The Typical Mom says
09/21/2017 at 9:18 pmOh sorry. I’ve used both. Prefer beef if I had to choose but both are good.

Marlo says
04/07/2017 at 4:11 pmHow big is the jar of spaghetti sauce?
The Typical Mom says
04/07/2017 at 5:36 pm24 oz, just added
Shannon says
08/24/2017 at 7:33 pmCan you double this recipe in one pot? I’m a new insta pot owner..
The Typical Mom says
08/27/2017 at 3:03 pmNo, that would be too much liquid.
andrea says
03/30/2017 at 4:31 pmthis is an excellent dish. love it and my husband loves it more…
The Typical Mom says
04/02/2017 at 8:12 pmOH I am so glad!
Rose says
03/23/2017 at 6:40 amI tried your spaghetti recipe and loved it. So, I’m trying another one of your recipes, but I have a couple of questions. What size jar of spaghetti sauce do I use. Can I cut this recipe in half? If so, do I use the same cooking instructions?
The Typical Mom says
03/23/2017 at 11:15 amI don’t see why you couldn’t cut it in half. I just use a regular size jar of sauce (24 oz). Maybe set for a minute or two less just to not overcook the noodles.
