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! It is quite chilly here in SoCal so we are all about soups for dinner. I have made lasagna in the crockpot, so 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)
Ok so we used different noodles, but with kids in the house I could just see those wide lasagna noodles (even broken up they’d be big) flipping out of spoons and decided rigatoni noodles were the answer.
You could easily use bow tie pasta noodles too which would be a bit smaller than these when it’s done, your choice. In order to make this lasagna soup recipe in just 8 minutes you need an Instant Pot.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot I highly recommend it, after just a few recipes I can’t believe I waited so long to try it!
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
- Ground beef
- Onion
- Diced tomatoes
- Chicken or beef stock
- Noodles – uncooked, can use any style you like
- Mozzarella cheese
- Spaghetti sauce – I buy what is on sale
If you want to make slow cooker lasagna soup just pre cook your meat and 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, and put on high or until they are the tenderness you desire.
Top with cheeses and serve!

Just bought my Insta Pot 6 qt – do I have to thaw my frozen ground beef before trying to saute it in the pot??
You 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.
I can’t get it to come to pressure. Any tips?
Wasn’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?
Did 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?
This was delicious!! A new favorite and will make it again for sure!!
OH good!!
Can the leftovers be frozen?
Absolutely!
I 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!
I’m so glad you love this one too!
This was easy and delicious! Perfect for a good beginner pressure cooker owner, it was my third meal in mine!
Making it tonight too- I’m trying to sub Zuchini for the pasta though
Awesome!!
So glad you loved it.
Found 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!
Oh, good! I love to double the recipe; thanks for sharing that it fits in the 8 qt. IP!
Do you have to change the cook time to double?
No but make sure to not fill your pot past 3/4 way full.
Wow! This is absolutely delicious! So easy and flavorful. ❤️
Oh so glad!!
Very good and so easy for sure a favorite in our house.
Oh good!!
This 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!
After
Great recipe and tastes delicious.
I noticed the nutrional value is for one serving. How much is one serving?
I made this Saturday and it tasted better, on Sunday. It’s an excellent winter soup. It’s so simple. Thank you for sharing it.
My insta pot doesn’t have a manual setting, what do you I need to put it on?
High pressure.
Could this be made without any cheese? This looks delicious but I can’t have dairy.
Hi, 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…
Did you drain the grease from the hamburger after cooked?
Yes I usually do.
This sounds quite simple as I haven’t yet used my pressure cooker. I’m rather excited to try this!
Video 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!
Oh sorry. I’ve used both. Prefer beef if I had to choose but both are good.
Thank you for sharing~
How big is the jar of spaghetti sauce?
24 oz, just added
Can you double this recipe in one pot? I’m a new insta pot owner..
No, that would be too much liquid.
this is an excellent dish. love it and my husband loves it more…
OH I am so glad!
I 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?
I 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.
Just finished eating this delicious Lasagna soup🙂. It was so easy and it made a lot!! Thanks for sharing this recipe 😃
Awesome
