Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 1 4 ounce mild Italian sausage link, casing removed
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 32 ounce can low-sodium chicken broth
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Turn on your Instant Pot and select the Sauté function. Cook the Italian sausage and ground sirloin until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the meat aside.
- Add olive oil to the pot and swirl to coat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and let it cook for just 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pot, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom.
- Add the marinara sauce, browned meat, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to combine evenly.
- Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and submerge them fully in the sauce mixture. Lock the lid in place and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 3 minutes. It will take about 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
- Once the cooking is complete, carefully use the quick-release method to release the pressure. This takes about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and give everything a good stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a teaspoon of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
