Instant Pot Lasagna Soup

Instant Pot Lasagna Soup


I love using the Instant Pot for easy soup recipes. We can make our favorite soups faster and works great with our busy schedules.  Instant Pot Lasagna Soup takes one of our favorite meals, and turns it into a soup everyone enjoys!




The kids and husband loved this recipe.  It is faster than baking lasagna and having the same great flavors. 


I used bow tie pasta for this recipe.  It would be awesome to find the small lasagna noodles for this soup, but cue the song, "Just a small-town girl".  I couldn't find them anywhere.  I have also read not to use the large lasagna noodles and break them up, they turn out too mushy.





Load up whatever type of cheese you want!  I love mozzarella cheese with Italian dishes.  Keep the lid on for a few minutes after you add the cheese, it will melt quickly.  Then serve immediately.



This is great that this soup only takes four minutes in the Instant Pot, and you can brown the hamburger on saute mode on the Instant Pot.  Don't dirty more pans than you have to!

Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili

Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili


Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili is the perfect soup for this cold weather that has extended into February.  It's also a healthy chili, packed with sweet potatoes, meat, and stewed tomatoes from our garden.

This was my first time trying this chili, it is so hearty! You couldn't help but have seconds. I like adding the cauliflower to this soup.  It was a great addition!

Kids are keeping us pretty busy with basketball games and practices.  I guess it gives us something to do during the winter, before it starts to stay lighter later in the evening.  Then we know baseball and softball is closer.

In the past week, we have added one more to our family, a yellow lab puppy. She is nine weeks old now.  The kids are so excited to have her around!
