Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté function. Add olive oil. When hot, add ground meat and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, oregano, and basil; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, water, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine everything and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the liquid. Do not stir them in completely; try to keep them mostly submerged.
  5. Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure (Manual/Pressure Cook) for 4 minutes.
  6. When the cooking time is complete, perform a Quick Release of the pressure.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, if using. Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Ladle the Instant Pot Lasagna Soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, brown Italian sausage instead of or mixed with ground beef.
  • If you do not have lasagna noodles, you can substitute with medium shells or ziti pasta. Adjust cooking time if using a different pasta shape.
  • Serve this hearty Italian soup with warm garlic bread for dipping.
