Instant Pot Lasagna Soup: A quick and easy soup filled with hearty sausage, rich tomato broth, and pasta, this Lasagna Soup is one of the best one pot meals around!
I will never forget the first time my mom made Lasagna Soup for me. I was a bit skeptical, as her lasagna was one of my all time favorite meals. But after one bite, I fell head over heals in love with this Italian Soup.
I have been making my mom’s lasagna soup for decades now on the stove top. And while the traditional lasagna soup is a relatively quick meal, Instant Pot Lasagna Soup is RIDICULOUSLY fast to make.
Instant Pot Lasagna Soup
Filled with Italian Sausage, carrots, onions and pasta in a rich tomato based sauce, this hearty Italian soup is comforting and soothing to my soul.
It is insanely easy to make in the pressure cooker. Friends, I am talking this soup is ready in less than 20 minutes from the time you start to the time you are sitting at the table.
How To Make Pressure Cooker Lasagna Soup
Step One: Sear Meat and Veggies
- Turn Instant Pot to Saute function.
- Once heated, add in oil.
- Brown Italian Sausage until almost no longer pink, breaking up sausage as it cooks.
- Add in onions, carrots, and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes longer.
- If a lot of grease remains in pressure cooker, drain that off for a lighter soup.
Step Two: Cook Lasagna Soup
- Add stewed tomatoes, stock, tomato sauce, seasonings and pasta to pressure cooker.
- Place lid on Instant Pot and turn knob to sealed.
- Cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes.
Step Three: Quick Release
- Once cook time has elapsed, allow pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes.
- Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Step Four: Add in Spinach
- Stir spinach into hot Lasagna soup.
Step Five: Serve Soup
- Serve Lasagna Soup with shredded or fresh Mozzarella Cheese and shredded Parmesan Cheese.
Modifications for Instant Pot Lasagna Soup
- I use homemade chicken stock and homemade tomato sauce for Lasagna Soup, but you can use your favorite brand.
- I like a lean Italian chicken sausage. I simply remove the chicken sausage from it’s casing and brown up. You can use any Italian Sausage you like.
- Stewed tomatoes with basil and oregano add amazing flavor and texture to this soup, but you can also use diced tomatoes or an extra cup of marinara sauce in it’s place.
- Corkscrew, rotini, capanelle, or elbow noodles are all great options for the pasta in this Lasagna Soup.
- Feel free to use frozen spinach n place of fresh spinach, just add to Lasagna Soup BEFORE cooking on high pressure.

Thanks so much for being a part of A Mind Full Mom!
I made a couple modifications, mostly trying to recover from my own goofs:
I used beef stock because that’s what I had.
I used hot Italian pork sausage because that’s what I like.
Running between the recipe on my computer and my kitchen, I accidentally added 2 cups of dried pasta instead of 1. I doubled the oregano and threw in some additional Italian seasoning & when the pressure cooking was over I added a couple cups of water because it was thiiiickk. (yay! more soup!)
This was awesome! Definitely making this again, and maybe buying a printer to cut down on the dashing back & forth.
I am so glad you were able to still enjoy this even with the goof! It seems odd to only add 1 cup pasta, but that is truly all you need in this soup to keep it from being so thick 😉 But like you said, now you have extra.
Another good soup recipe for my Instant Pot!

I wanted to give this recipe a fair review because I accidentally burnt the first batch. This turned out great! It was hearty and easy to make. It had great flavor, and can’t wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow! I served it with garlic bread sticks to dip in the soup. Thanks for the recipe, and updating it 😉. I shared this on Facebook for all my IP friends.
Hi Megan I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe so much! We love it ourselves. And thank you for pointing out that 1 -16 ounce can tomatoes can read like 116 ounces. I want to make my recipes super clear and helpful, but knowing how you interpret recipes helps me improve. Enjoy those leftovers 🙂
Fantastic! Incredible flavor, and so fast and easy to make. I browned the sausage and onions/carrots/garlic in a skillet to I could drain off the excess fat/oil. I used campanelle pasta and one each of linguesa and hot Italian sausage. Incredible. I also opted for the red pepper flakes, good call!
