Absolutely! Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms. You can also use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or provolone. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I make this soup ahead of time? Yes, you can! The soup actually tastes even better the next day. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can I freeze this soup? Yes, but the pasta may become a bit soft. It’s best to freeze the soup without the pasta and add it when reheating.
- Is this soup gluten-free? You can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta.
- Can I use ground beef instead of sausage? Yes, you can! Just be sure to drain off any excess grease.
- What if I don’t have an Instant Pot? You can make this soup in a large pot on the stovetop. Simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
