Crave-worthy Instant Pot Lasagna Soup
My kids absolutely love it when I make lasagna. Better yet, they’ve also grown to love my lasagna soup. It’s great because it makes my life so much easier, especially when I can turn to recipes like this one for making a mom-approved instant pot lasagna soup. I love a good lasagna bubbling away in the oven with all that molten cheese and tomato sauce, but it can get a little tiring to make. You’ll save so much time with this soup versus cooking a traditional lasagna and but it still has all of the basics—ground beef, pasta, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and more.
