ANNONCE
- 4 cups vegetable broth (one tetra pak)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup dry brown lentils
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes

How to Make Crockpot Lasagna Soup
Step 1: Build Your Base
I start by adding the vegetable broth, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, lentils, and both cans of tomatoes into the Instant Pot. Give everything a good stir to combine those savory flavors.
Step 2: Pressure Cook Round One
Seal the Instant Pot and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes, just until the lentils are perfectly tender.
Step 3: Break, Stir, and Cook Again
After releasing the pressure, I break the lasagna noodles into large pieces and stir them into the soup along with the chopped spinach. Then I cook it all under high pressure again for 5 more minutes, just until the noodles are tender and the spinach is wilted.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
I ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a big, creamy spoonful of Zengarry Garlic & Herb Cashew Cheese. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil on top makes it extra special.
