Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE mode. Add olive oil. Add ground beef and onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Press CANCEL.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and water. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Do not stir them in completely; try to keep them mostly submerged.
  5. Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on High for 4 minutes.
  6. When the cooking time is complete, allow a Natural Pressure Release (NPR) for 5 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
  7. Stir the soup. If using heavy cream, stir it in now.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the beef broth with chicken broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, skip the heavy cream and stir in 1/4 cup of cream cheese during the final step.
  • This recipe works well as a ‘lazy lasagna alternative’ when you need quick dinner solutions.
