Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use ground beef instead of ground pork?
Yes, you can substitute ground beef for ground pork if you prefer. Ground turkey or chicken can also be used for a leaner option.
Can I make this soup in advance and reheat it later?
Absolutely! Lasagna Soup reheats well. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot.
Can I use pre-cooked lasagna noodles?
Yes, you can use pre-cooked or no-boil lasagna noodles to save time. Just add them to the soup during the last 5-7 minutes of simmering, or according to the package instructions.
How can I adjust the spiciness of the soup?
You can control the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper flakes you add. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes. For extra heat, add more to your taste.
What can I serve with Lasagna Soup besides sourdough bread crisps?
While sourdough bread crisps are a great choice, you can also serve this soup with garlic bread, a simple green salad, or even a side of steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
