Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the soup, but wait to add the lasagna noodles until serving. Reheat, then add noodles to avoid sogginess.
2. What other types of pasta can I use?
If lasagna noodles are unavailable, use any flat pasta such as bow-tie, rigatoni, or fusilli.
3. How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding extra broth or cream if it thickens.
4. Can I freeze this soup?
Cream-based soups can separate upon thawing, so freezing isn’t recommended. If you must freeze, omit the dairy and add it when reheating.
5. What if I don’t have marinara sauce?
Use crushed tomatoes with a bit of Italian seasoning as a substitute for marinara sauce.
