This Instant Pot Lasagna Soup Recipe had me using the soup setting on the instant pot for the first time, and I’m not mad!
Mastering Instant Pot Lasagna Soup, Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Bowl:
- Choosing the Right Pasta: While the recipe suggests using cavatappi pasta, you can get creative with your choice. Rotini, fusilli, or even broken lasagna noodles work well.
- Seasoning and Spice: Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. For a milder soup, reduce the quantity or omit them altogether. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end. Depending on your sausage and tomato brands, you might need to add a pinch more salt or Italian seasoning for the perfect balance.
- Serving Suggestions: Lasagna soup is fantastic on its own, but it’s also great with a side of garlic bread, cheesy breadsticks, or a simple green salad. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Leftover Bliss: This recipe makes a lot of soup! Fortunately, it reheats beautifully. Store leftover Lasagna Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, add a splash of additional broth or water to maintain the soup’s desired consistency.
- Freezing for Future Comfort: Even better news, this Instant Pot Lasagna Soup can be frozen for later enjoyment. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers or bags. Label with the date. To thaw and reheat, simply place the frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight and warm it up on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Now that you’re armed with these tips and tricks, you’re ready to master the art of Lasagna Soup. Bon appétit!
