Can I make Pizza Soup ahead of time?

Yes! This Pizza Soup is perfect for meal prep. You can make it a day or two in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. The flavors will continue to develop, and it will taste just as good, if not better, when reheated. It also freezes well for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let it cool completely before freezing.

Can I make this soup without an Instant Pot?

Absolutely! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, no worries. You can make this Pizza Soup on the stovetop, and it’s just as easy. Simply follow the stovetop instructions provided earlier in the recipe. It might take a bit longer, but the result will be just as comforting and delicious.

Can I substitute the ground beef or Italian sausage?

Yes, feel free to get creative with your protein choices. You can use ground turkey, chicken sausage, or even ground lamb if you prefer. The sausage provides great flavor, but any protein you like will work. Just be sure to season accordingly!

How can I make this soup dairy-free?

If you want to make this Pizza Soup dairy-free, you can substitute the cream cheese and heavy cream with non-dairy options. Coconut cream, cashew cream, or almond milk can be used as a replacement for the heavy cream. For the cream cheese, try a dairy-free cream cheese alternative, which is widely available in stores.
