If you love lasagna, you’re going to love this lasagna soup! It has all of the same cheesy, saucy, pasta goodness that you crave with a traditional lasagna. But it’s so much faster to make!
You can have this lasagna soup on your dinner table in just under 40 minutes, start to finish. I really tried to make this a 30 minute dinner recipe, but couldn’t quite get it done in 30 minutes. The lasagna noodles just wouldn’t cook in time!
Still, one pot recipes are some of my favorites because they feel like I’m cheating a little bit with taking shortcuts in the kitchen. Cooking everything in one pot means lots of flavor and less clean up! I like to take classic comfort foods and lighten them up a little, as I did with this lasagna soup. For more healthier one pot comfort food meals, try my One Pot Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole and One Pot Vegetarian Chili Mac!
Making this One Pot Lasagna Soup is really easy!
You start by cooking ground turkey, onion and bell pepper in a little olive oil. Next you’ll stir in some seasonings and tomato paste, followed by marinara sauce, chicken broth and water.
The lasagna noodles cook right in the pot with everything else, which makes them really flavorful. Once the noodles are cooked, you’ll turn off the heat and stir in some chopped fresh spinach (more veggies!). The spinach wilts down into the soup, so you hardly notice it in the finished product.
My favorite way to serve this soup is with a little shredded mozzarella and a scoop of ricotta cheese on top. Parmesan cheese would also be delicious!
Tips for making this One Pot Lasagna Soup:
- Be sure to break up your lasagna noodles into small bite-size pieces. The first time I made this soup I left them too big and it was a bit difficult to eat them, especially for the kids!
- The recipe calls for two jars of marinara sauce. Use your favorite sauce for the best flavor.
- Don’t overdo it on the mozzarella cheese. A little goes a long way in this soup. Rather than stirring it in, I suggest sprinkling a little mozzarella on top.
- If you plan to make this one pot lasagna soup ahead of time, under-cook the noodles just a little bit. The noodles will continue to soak up more of the saucy broth as the soup rests in the refrigerator. You may need to add a little more water or broth right before serving if you make this ahead. Or, just enjoy it as a thicker lasagna soup!

Hubby was asking for “lasagne soup”, and up popped this recipe on Pinterest. He requested ground beef instead of turkey, and no bell pepper, and it was absolutely delicious. He said it tastes exactly how he envisioned it!

Am I able to make this in the instant pot?

I think you could make it work, but without testing it myself it’s difficult to give specific directions. Soups take a long time for the Instant Pot to reach pressure and then release pressure, due to the high volume of liquid in the pot. If you add the noodles before pressure cooking, they may overcook and become mushy. You could pressure cook and then add the noodles and cook them using the saute function, but then I’m not sure it would be much easier than making this on the stove.
