Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 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 beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles. Do not stir after adding the noodles to prevent sticking.
  6. Secure the lid and set the vent to sealing. Cook on High Pressure (Manual) for 5 minutes.
  7. When the cooking time is complete, perform a Quick Pressure Release (QPR). Carefully remove the lid.
  8. Stir the soup gently. If using, stir in the heavy cream and half of the mozzarella cheese until melted and combined.
  9. 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 richer flavor, substitute beef broth with low-sodium chicken broth.
  • If you skip the heavy cream, the soup will be more tomato-forward, similar to a traditional marinara base.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or Italian sausage for variation.
