Deconstructing Comfort: A Hearty Twist on Classic Lasagna in a Bowl!
Today we are making lasagna soup and my friends we are going to do it in our instant pot so it doesn’t get any simpler or frankly more fun I’m going to be using gluten-free lasagna noodles I actually made these and these were I stored them in my freezer in a previous episode so I will link that recipe above if you don’t already have already made.
Gluten-free lasagna noodles you can use any kind of gluten-free pasta that you like and I will include some suggestions in the description box below first thing we’re going to do is make our meatballs but in order to do that I have here if you know me then you know I do not like chunks in sauce it just doesn’t mesh well with my unique self and so I’m.
Going to puree all of these things but for the meatballs we’re going to need a combination of the fresh onion and garlic and this is an insane amount of garlic but if you know me then you know I love garlic everything is going to be written in the description box below but I also have a fabulous recipe card for you so be sure to stay all the way.
Through the end of the video so you can snap a screenshot of it so that you can easily make this recipe at home so I’m going to grab my Vitamix and blend this up really simply okay so to our Vitamix I am going to add in the onion and remember this is for the.
Entire sauce and meatballs but we’re going to reserve some so first I’m going to just throw that in you can use a blender you can also just chop it up by hand if you like and eat it like that but that’s not the way I like it a food processor is probably easier except I like how pure it gets in the.
Vitamix and so you just got to you know work it a little bit you can use an immersion blender also but mine broke so if you have an immersion blender that is not garbage like the one I had I would love to know what kind you had and don’t worry that we added water it’s going to be just.
Fine and so you could see it’s pureed perfectly so what we’re going to do is we’re going to reserve about maybe a four of a cup for the meatballs so I’m simply going to I’d say let’s do a four of a cup there’s nothing like fresh inside of sauce let’s wipe that off so I’m going.
To set this with the other meatballs now what we’re going to do straight into this we’re going to just throw that carrot trust the process now with this um I’m going to just leave this in in the Vitamix for right now because we’re gonna need this blender one more.
Time to do the tomatoes so I’m just going to leave that there so now let’s get our meatballs going so take my ring off we’ve got our turkey so to that we’re going to add our dried spices remember everything is linked or written out in the description box below so you don’t have to guess we’re going to add milk this is almond milk that I made I.
Do have a recipe for how to make that on this channel and I will link that in the card above the onion and garlic mixture we just whipped up friends I’m mostly dairyfree but for me balls I do love a good pecarina Romano cheese I don’t have any breadcrumbs in the.
Recipe car on the recipe card I have a four of a cup of breadcrumbs I’m using buckwheat flour which works really great also we are going to need an egg so I’m going to crack it separately one egg and now I’m actually going to wet my hands a little bit and just mix up this mixture you can use gloves if you want.
But I don’t I love little meatballs in a lasagna soup I feel like it’s just so good you could alternatively just like fry up ground like ground beef or ground turkey and not do the meatballs but I think it’s better with the meatballs there’s a just a lot more flavor okay wow I can I can smell the.
Flavor in these they’re going to be amazing okay so that’s looking pretty good breadcrumbs would um help it from seeming so sticky but I don’t mind this so now we’re going to need a plate which I should have grabbed but I didn’t we’re going to roll out meatballs about like this size like we want them to be really.
Little you could use a like a a scoop so that they’re all exactly the same but I don’t mind doing them like this now we’re going to get our sauce going and so I just have a can of whole peeled tomatoes and I’m going to puree this in the same blender but I’m going to remove the carrot mixture.
Because I want to kind of cook that down a little bit because of the onion and then we’re going to add the sauce on top so now I’m just going to add that can of tomatoes I’m going to be careful not to Splash it cuz it can make a huge mess I really like the flavor of this these canned tomatoes so that’s why I use it you can skip this stuff if you.
Just buy tomato sauce instead finito now we’re going to grab our instant pot okay so we’re going to set our instant pot to sauté make sure it’s set to sauté on high I must have been right on it and went right past it we’re going to allow this to get hot and then we’re going to add our oil and.
Start doing our meatballs okay so now this oil I’m not going to add all of it I’m just going to add about half of it and save the other half in case we need it so this is about 2 tablespoons I love to pick the liner up and swirl it around to just TR fully coat fully coat it okay so now we’re.
Going to drop those meatballs in I love a a one pot meal what about you so then what I do is I pick it up you can see some of them are sticking that is okay my friends these meatballs were definitely more wet than usual because I did not have any.
Breadcrumb so that makes them stick a little bit more but it’s okay it’s going inside a soup and I love showing that things do not have to be perfect otherwise cooking can seem very very intimidating like if it doesn’t come out like Instagram worthy then you screwed it up when that’s simply not the case.
And actually I’m going to add the rest of that olive oil cuz that’ll probably help and I think what I’m going to do is just crowd the pan at this point just let them cook starting to develop some nice color again these meatballs are it’s a.
Mess friends but it is okay trust the process it’s almost like I’ve just got ground beef without the meatballs but at least there’s all the flavor so that’s what I’m going by is the flavor and I need just a couple of good-look meatballs for the thumbnail I know this I said this was an instant pot recipe but I also just put.
The rest in my air fryer and we’ll see if this works better kind of a mess friends kind of a mess where or where did we go wrong right now I’m simply going to take this this um ground up meat that is no longer a meatball and I’m going to just set it aside because I’m going to clean the.
Bottom of this pot cuz it is it is a flipping mess going to add in some more olive oil swirl it around now we’re going to add in we’re going to add in that that carrot mixture carrot onion just going to use the same dirty.
Spoon everything’s getting in here anyway now have you ever put carrots inside of your um lasagna soup before or even sauce it’s a great way to sweeten it up and also to get some extra nutrients you want that onion to really soften and cook down a little bit man my house smells.
Amazing if you make this recipe be sure to tag me in it too and send me pictures looking good okay that looks about perfect now we’re going to add in that red wine I love a dry red wine This was um a petite SRA one of my favorites if you don’t do wine you can just do extra broth or water the wine really gives it a depth.
Of flavor and the alcohol Cooks away um and I always have dry red wine in my house okay that’s looking really good now what we’re going to do is we’re going to add those dried spices again everything will be on that recipe card at the end I added all the dried spices except the bay leaves because I don’t want to.
Crush them accidentally and I just want the dried spices just to cook a little bit this did also include a little bit of organic can sugar I don’t really do sugar but I do put sugar in sauce you could do um honey or maple syrup or monk fruit or something else but it’s it’s only a teaspoon so I just go for it I’m just.
Using one of these containers of the kettle and fire you could use whatever you have and you don’t have to do beef you could do chicken you could just do water but the beef really gives it a nice flavor oops that’s why I wear an apron this is how they turn down in the air fryer it looks a little bit better.
Now I did say I added all the dried spices but I’m going to do some fresh black pepper 15 cracks I am going to add this ground beef ground beef ground turkey my turkey meatballs don’t they look delicious wait till you see the ones in the air fryer they look much better it’s fine I promise it will be fine I had.
Made um turkey uh not turkey ground uh sausage links I had made these and had them in actual lasagna I had extra so I’m these are already cooked this is like a clean out your fridge or whatever recipe so if you already have something else cooked even pieces of cooked um sirloin or chicken would be really.
Good okay and it’s frozen but I’m not worried about it cuz it’s getting in this hot liquid and it’s already cooked remember friends they already cooked so these turned out much better much better this is what I was going for um and it I did not succeed so we’re just going to put these in here I’m glad I did these separate it’s because the meatballs were.
So wet and I knew that doing it but I did I did it anyway I did it anyway # reif so I don’t want to break the meatballs up but wow this is really coming together it’s going to be so good we’re getting there friends we’re.
Getting there we’re going to do four cups of filtered water then we’re going to take in the sauce pour it in and what I like to do is just put a little bit of water in the container maybe like another half of a cup I am not going to stir this now because I put all that tomato stuff in there I don’t want to get the burn.
Signal what I am going to do is put in those two bay leaves if you are using um uncooked lasagna n Noodles put them in now but we are not so close the lid we’re going to set our instant pot to high pressure for 6 minutes so the instant pots pin just.
Popped up meaning that it’s getting ready to actually start so we don’t have a lot of time left which is great so now I’ve got I’ve just got a lot of fresh basil I love fresh herbs I don’t have any fresh frh parsley if you have fresh parsley by all means use that also and you don’t want to cook this into it because it doesn’t need to be.
Cooked in there you want to add this at the end when we’re essentially like and I should have dried I should have dried this basil more but friends I’m doing a lot of things at once and I’m filming so um that’s my excuse for the day so now I have all of the lasagna that I.
Told you I had already cooked so I pulled it out it’s nice and defrosted I pulled it out in my freezer so if you already have cooked lasagna that’s this is what you would do and we’re simply going to just tear it into pieces because we don’t want to eat a huge piece like this in soup and you could put as much as many.
Lasagna noodles in as you want you could use a penet pasta you could cook the pasta in the lasagna soup you can just call it pasta soup you can do whatever you like I look forward to this every single time I make these noodles but you don’t have to already have lasagna noodles made again I cannot stress that.
Enough but if you do do this highly recommend it and again these are already cooked but they were Al Dente because then we don’t want these to be super mushy going in could I have used a smaller plate my friends M my house smells amazing okay now we’re going to open up.
The lid prepared to be amazed my friends amazed so the first thing we’re going to need to do oh it smells so good is fish out those bay leaves ah gotcha okay so now we’re going to take those lasagna noodles that I just broke up into pieces.
And just slide them on in I think I’m going to turn it to sauté um if I probably don’t have to but I’m going to and that’s not the only lasagna noodles I have that’s just all that fit on the plate so I’ve got two plates of it of what I had left so I’m using it all okay then we’re going to add in some spinach this is just a big handful of.
Spinach it’s um baby spinach I probably don’t need to turn it to sort sauté but I will now I have that chopped basil that’s going in who would not want a bowl of this deliciousness at least one of the.
Meatballs turned out I’m going to use these little Pearl um mozzarel pearls again I’m I’m dairy free most of the time you don’t have to put cheese in here I’m simply going to put all of these um they’ll just break up in.
There this little pearls in there going in for a bite I have to go in for a second bite if you have never had lasagna soup before why not my friends especially with the delicious piece of crusty bread I will link this recipe below the the video for it you guys love that bread give this video a thumbs up if you.
