Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use turkey or chicken instead of beef?
Yes! Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter version of this soup.

Q2: Can I make this soup in advance?
Absolutely. Prepare the soup without the pasta and cheese, and store it in the fridge. Reheat and add the pasta and cheese just before serving for the best texture.

Q3: Can I freeze this soup?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it without the pasta, as pasta may become mushy upon reheating. Add fresh-cooked pasta when serving.
