Does this chicken lasagna soup in Instant Pot delivers the same flavor?
Absolutely! This hearty and comforting chicken lasagna soup is made up of similar ingredients: soft and tender pieces of lasagna soaked up in a delicious tomato-cheese base sauce that delivers the same great taste and flavors that you love in a traditional lasagna; but as a soup, in a bowl. This soup is a huge hit every time I make it.
Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE mode. When the display reads ‘Hot,’ add the minced chicken. Stir occasionally.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until you can’t see any pink in the chicken.
Next add the diced tomatoes, followed by crushed tomatoes. Mix to combine.
Make sure, to scrape the browned bits on the bottom of the insert to prevent a burn warning.
Pour in the chicken broth.
Stir in the lasagna noodles. Gently mix the noodles. Turn the Instant pot ‘Off.’
Secure the lid and seal the pot. Press the Manual (pressure cook) button and cook the soup on High Pressure for 5 minutes with the pressure valve in sealing position. It will take about 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build. After that, the countdown timer will start.
When the pin drops, carefully open the lid and gently stir everything together.
Adjust the seasonings, if needed. I prefer a thick soup but feel free to adjust the soup to the consistency you enjoy.
Ladle the hot white chicken lasagna soup into a big bowl, sprinkle with some topping? , add some fresh basil leaves and devour! Serve immediately. If allowed to sit for long, the lasagna noodles will absorb all the delicious soup. On a chilly day, a big bowl full of Instant Pot lasagna soup will warm you up inside out.
What other pasta can I use for chicken lasagna soup?
This soup tastes best with gluten-free lasagna noodles but can be easily modified to your liking. Sub lasagna noodles with any kind of pasta, some other options include:
Spaghetti Linguine Farfalle Ravioli Fettucini Tortellini, to name a few.
Can I use store- bought marinara sauce
Of course, you can! Use the thick chunky kind of marinara sauce.
Substitute for chicken!
Vegetarians can swap the chicken for lentils, chickpeas, tofu, sweet potato, pumpkin, fresh mushrooms or grilled vegetables. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. For the cooktop method, steps remain the same until the noodles are added. Once the noodles go in the sauce, cover the pan and allow it to simmer on a medium-low flame for additional 20-25 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to your liking. Serve immediately. Allowing the lasagna noodles to sit for long will soak up all the delicious soup. Whichever way you choose to cook this soup, the flavors are phenomenal.

The leftover soup will become thick, more like a stew. Why? Because the lasagna noodles have absorbed most of the liquid. To thin out the soup, simply add a few tablespoons of water and warm in the microwave. Top it with cheese and enjoy!
