Pro Tips (FAQ-Style)

Can I make this soup healthier?
Yes. Use ground turkey or chicken and low-fat ricotta and mozzarella. Add extra vegetables like spinach or zucchini during the final 30 minutes.

Can I use a different pasta shape?
Yes. Rotini, penne, or mafalda work very well. Add near the end to prevent overcooking.

How do I make this vegetarian?
Use plant-based crumbles or beans instead of meat, and use vegetable broth.
