Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Ricotta, for garnish
  • Shredded Parmesan or mozzarella, for garnish
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Equipment

  • 6-quart Instant Pot
  • wooden spoon for deglazing
  • ladle for serving
  • Trivet to rest hot lid

Method
 

  1. Sauté the ground beef until most of the pink is gone, 4–6 minutes. Add onion to soften and sweeten; finish with garlic for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add a splash of broth and scrape up every browned bit to deglaze and prevent burn warnings.
  3. Stir in remaining broth, crushed tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  4. Scatter broken lasagna noodles on top and press gently to submerge.
  5. Seal Instant Pot and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes. Allow 10 minutes to come to pressure, then quick-release.
  6. Stir the soup and adjust salt, pepper, or vinegar. For a creamier finish, stir in shredded mozzarella off heat.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with ricotta, Parmesan, and fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Customize your Lasagna Soup with swaps like ground turkey, extra vegetables, or tortellini for a twist. It's make-ahead friendly, freezes well (without noodles), and reheats with just a splash of broth. Avoid burn warnings by thoroughly deglazing after sautéing.
