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)
DIG DEEPER
Great family meals don’t have to be complicated. This mini cookbook serves up 10 easy meals, each only requiring 5 ingredients or less
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.

I can’t wait
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.
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!
Do you release the pressure between steps 4 & 6 in this recipe? It would seem necessary before adding the meatballs & 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.
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.
Great Post. Thanks for sharing this with us. Your blog posts are really very interesting and useful.
This looks so good! Totally adding it to the menu plan for next week!
