Healthy Instant Pot Lasagna Soup (vegetarian and meat option)

How to make Healthy Instant Pot Lasagna Soup (vegetarian style):

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

• Using a 6qt or 8qt Instant Pot set to saute mode, add olive oil and allow to heat for 1 minutes. Add the diced onion, garlic, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried basil. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes (with liquid), vegetable stock and water. Stir everything together.
• Break up the lasagna noodles into small pieces and then add them to the soup. Stir to combine everything.
  • Don't have lasagna noodles? Just use any type of small pasta (farfalle, penne, rigatoni)
• Close the top of the instant pot and set the valve to the sealed position. Set the pot on manual or high cooking mode, and set the timer for 4 minutes.
  • Remember that the Instant Pot will need time to ‘come to pressure’ before the 3 minutes starts counting down. This might take 10 minutes depending on the instant pot model. Once the pressure is built up, the timer will count down.
• Once the time is up, allow to sit for 5 minutes to release some of the pressure naturally. Then flip the pressure valve to release the rest of the pressure (careful the steam is hot). Open the lid and set aside.
• Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted. Add mozzarella and freshly grated parmesan cheeses to the soup and stir until combined.
• Serve immediately with more freshly grated cheese over the top if desired.

Can I freeze the Lasagna Soup?

• YES! Add 3 cup or 6 cup servings to freezer safe ziplock bags (depending on size of bags) and freeze laying flat in the freezer.
• To defrost: Place the frozen soup in the refrigerator the day before you would like to eat it.
• To cook: Once defrosted, heat the soup in the microwave, on the stove top, or even back in the instant pot (place in pot and set timer for 2 minutes).

When serving the Lasagna soup as a main course, I recommend these side dishes to accompany it:

• Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli
• Asparagus
• Easy Wedge Salad
• Best Ever Garlic Bread
