Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, for topping
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil. When hot, add ground beef and onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Do not stir them in completely; try to keep them mostly submerged.
  5. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Select Manual or Pressure Cook on High for 5 minutes.
  6. When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release of any remaining pressure.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese until the cheese melts into the soup.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella cheese and fresh herbs.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute Italian sausage for ground beef.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, let it sit for 10 minutes after adding the cream; the noodles will absorb more liquid.
  • Serve this hearty soup with warm garlic bread for dipping.
