Food Made Simple

Easy Lasagna Soup

 

It’s no secret that we LOVE quick and easy recipes here at LWSL, but we also have a few more requirements before we can deem them worthy of sharing. They must also be delicious, use easy to find ingredients, be family-friendly, and not dirty all the dishes in our house. (That’s why we love using an Instant Pot. We just throw all the ingredients in there and clean-up is a breeze)

Luckily this delicious Lasagna Soup recipe fits the bill! It’s easy, delicious, and can be made in an Instant Pot. Frozen pre-made meatballs (We have also used these meatballs in our Italian Wedding Soup recipe!) and packaged egg-noodles are just a few shortcuts we also use to make this recipe even that much easier!

This tasty, comforting, and easy-to-make soup is definitely a family pleaser, and is sure to become a staple in your house!

Sidenote: The Lasagna soup will thicken over time, so don’t worry if it seems like a lot of liquid at first.

 

Here is what you need:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1  15 oz.can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
2 15 oz. cans fire roasted tomatoes, diced
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
2 cartons chicken stock
1  20 oz. bag Italian style frozen Meatballs ( I used Mama Lucia’s )
1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
For cheese mixture only
1 15oz container Ricotta cheese
1 8oz block mozzarella, grated
1/2 cup Pecorino Romano, grated
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp black pepper

Step 1: Chop onion and parsley, set aside.

Step 2: Add olive oil to Instant Pot then add onion and Italian seasoning and saute for 3 minutes.

Step 3: Then add the 3 cans of tomatoes to Instant Pot and saute again for 3 minutes.

Step 4: Then add the tomato paste, the stock, and then add the grated Pecorino Romano to Instant Pot and put on pressure cook high for 4 minutes.

Step 5: Mix together Pecorino Romano and mozzarella cheeses, ricotta, parsley and black pepper.

Step 6: Add frozen meatballs and  2 cups of egg noodles to Instant pot and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.

Step 7: Once time is up do a quick release ( be careful not to get burned by steam release valve) Then ladle soup into bowls and top with a heaping spoonful of the cheese mixture.

  • This easy lasagna soup has all of the delicious flavors of homemade lasagna without all the work! The perfect weeknight dinner that s made in one pot!

  • Very informative and wonderful blog post. Thanks for sharing. For online discount codes and coupons please visit Freshmenu Coupon Codes

  • This looks so yummy! Here's one of my favorite recipes that I think you would love: Thai Style Coconut Chicken

  • Great Post. Thanks for sharing this with us. Your blog posts are really very interesting and useful.

  • But wait, I thought you were doing the keto diet? (I just started that too). Do you think this soup would work for the keto diet if you omitted the noodles?

    • Hi Theresa- I'm doing Keto but my kids are not and this recipe was just so easy and delicious I just had to share. Unfortunately, the meatballs are not keto friendly, so you would have to adjust that and the noodles.

  • Sounds delicious and I'm looking forward to making this as I love lasagna soup! Lucky me I have some ricotta in the fridge left from a cheesecake I just made.

  • Do you release the pressure between steps 4 & 6 in this recipe? It would seem necessary before adding the meatballs & noodles.

  • My family loves "poor man" lasagna, but this looks even easier. Will have to sub a few things to make it vegetarian friendly, but that will be super easy to do! I'm putting this on my menu for the week. Thanks!

  • Thanks for the recipe, this looks very good. Cooking is fun, and learning new recipes on Youtube.
    I understand that the consideration of kids is involved in the recipe, which looks great, and I will adding a clove or two of roasted garlic.
