"Made this last night and it was bomb. Like a fancier, more delicious Chef Boyardee lol. My grocery store didn’t have ground chicken so I went with beef, and I used an entire box of Campanella instead of lasagne noods. 5/5 will make again"
- Caitlin

We enjoy the traditional classic, lasagna and often make a large tray that is baked in the oven. Although the flavors are amazing, most days are just too busy to cook it the traditional way.

This is when I started making it as a one-pot soup that does not need pre-boiling the sheets and spending time layering. Instead, I pressure-cook all the ingredients together and then stir in the cheese. The soup is also a good way to make it more or less cheesy for a lighter meal.

Cooking Pasta in the Instant Pot

I have used Barilla Lasagne noodles in this recipe which has a stovetop cook time of 8 minutes. To pressure cook the noodles al dente, I reduce the stove cook time in half. Hence the pressure cook time used in this recipe is 4 minutes.You can use any type of pasta by simply cutting the cooking time by half and using that as the pressure cook time.

✔️ EASY one-pot recipe perfect for weeknight meals

✔️ Kid Approved

✔️ No need to pre-boil the pasta noodles, only one pot to clean

✔️ Mostly hands-free recipe

Ingredients

This recipe uses mostly the same ingredients that are used in classic lasagna:

Ground Chicken - I like to use ground chicken in this recipe but you can use your favorite ground meat
Lasagna Noodles - These noodles have a nice texture and bite to them after pressure cooking. Note: do not use the oven-ready no-boil noodles
Cheese - The best part of this recipe is the amount of cheese you add to it. All of the cheese is added after the soup is cooked and you can add more or less, to suit your taste
Baby Spinach - Great way to get lots of greens in your meal. Simply chop it up and stir it in the end. You can also use frozen chopped spinach

Steps

Here is the Step by Step Recipe:

Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add oil, garlic, onions, and crushed pepper flakes. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add ground chicken and mix well breaking the chicken into the pot. Cook for 2 minutes and then stir in diced tomatoes and tomato sauce

Add chicken broth, parsley, oregano, and bay leaf.Break lasagna noodles and add them, along with the salt. Stir everything well. Close the Instant Pot with the Pressure Valve to sealing. Select Pressure Cook (Hi) and adjust the time to 4 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle completes quick release and open the Instant Pot and stir in spinach and ricotta cheese.

Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and cook for another 2-3 mins. Serve hot with grated mozzarella, parmesan, and basil leaves.

Serving

Lasagna soup is best enjoyed hot. Sprinkle some chopped parsley and red chili flakes for a hearty meal

Storing

The soup will continue to thicken up as it cools down. When reheating add some warm water or broth. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer shelf life.

Stove Top

Don't have an Instant Pot? Here is how to make it on the stovetop:

Follow the recipe as is, except add an extra cup of water or broth along with the pasta noodles.
Cook the pasta uncovered for the cook time specified on the pasta package.

Vegetarian Variation

To make vegetarian Lasagna Soup, simply skip the ground chicken and add 2 cups of diced zucchini, diced mushrooms, or mixed diced peppers instead. Replace chicken broth with vegetarian broth or just add water and adjust the salt accordingly.

Here are some of my other favorite Italian recipes using the Instant Pot:
