Instant Pot Lasagna Soup Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Instant Pot lasagna soup is loaded with pasta and beef in a creamy tomato broth. Make it for a quick and easy meal the whole family will love!
Fire roasted tomatoes and Italian herbs create a deliciously rich and savory flavor in this easy lasagna soup.
Then, a cheesy topping and fresh basil finish off the dish for a warm and comforting meal.
If you love the Italian flavors in this lasagna soup recipe, you’ll find plenty more in my Chicken Alfredo Tortellini or Basil Sausage versions.
Craving the real thing? I’ve got traditional and skillet versions, depending on how much time and energy you have. Both are simple to put together and ready in under an hour!
Instant Pot Lasagna Soup – Ingredient Notes
- Ground beef substitute: Try mild or hot Italian bulk sausage, ground turkey, or any combination of your favorite ground meats for this lasagna soup recipe.
- Use fire-roasted tomatoes. These are a lifesaver in the kitchen! They add that “cooked all day” flavor to quick and easy dishes like this one. Feel free to use regular diced tomatoes if needed, but add a pinch of sugar if you’re sensitive to acidity.
- Create a thinner consistency. Increase the amount of broth, up to 6 cups total. I used chicken broth, but you could substitute beef for a bolder flavor or vegetable for something milder.
- What is Mafalda Corte pasta? It’s a ribbon pasta that has been cut into small pieces to resemble mini lasagna noodles. If you can’t find this variety at your local store, break apart approximately 10 full-size sheets or substitute bowtie, penne, or rotini instead.
Serving Suggestions
Since this Instant Pot lasagna soup is pretty hearty and filling on its own, all you really need is some garlic or cheesy bread and maybe a side salad.
Air fryer garlic knots can be thrown together while this cooks, and my copycat Olive Garden salad is loaded with Italian flavor.

FAQ – Common Recipe Questions
Can you freeze this soup?
Yes, but I would recommend making the pasta separately so it doesn’t get too soft or mushy.
Put everything except the noodles in the pot and cook as directed, then transfer to containers to freeze. Be sure to leave room at the top for the liquid to expand.
Then, boil the noodles when you reheat the soup and stir some in just before serving. Or, freeze a cooked batch to reheat at the same time.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
You could simply warm it on the stove, but it tends to thicken the longer it sits especially because the noodles absorb the extra liquid.
What I did was stir any remaining ricotta mixture into the leftovers before storing them in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Then, I transferred them into a small baking dish and topped with extra cheese before baking. It turns out more like a casserole and is just as delicious!
Enjoy!

I am allergic to tomatoes. What can I substitute for the "fire roasted" tomatoes? Tomato sauce is fine but fresh tomatoes I have a bad allergic reaction. Please say there's a substitute…
This was a great dinner for the whole family, everyone loved the flavor. Definitely a warm cheesy comfort food.
I made this for a cozy supper and I used mild Italian sausage. I received much appreciation (from teenager – in the form of extra helpings!). Will make this again for sure
Big win with this recipe at my house, kids liked it and husband loved it but suggested we add a little spice kick to it next time (Cajun seasoning) like I do with my normal lasagna recipe. Will mark again, so easy in the instant pot!!
Awesome, loved by the whole family! Easy and tasty.
