Ingredients and Variations
Ground Beef – Use lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken. For a vegetarian version, you can substitute soy crumbles.
Noodles – Lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces are thick enough to hold up to pressure cooking and have a hearty texture. Other types of pasta such as penne or even elbow macaroni can be substituted. Use gluten-free versions if you desire.
Broth – Chicken broth from a carton is economical and convenient. You can also use beef or vegetable broth, bouillon cubes, or even water.
Tomatoes – Use a can of crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, or tomato sauce to give the best broth flavor balance.
Variations – Stew beef, cut up white chicken, or pork will give the soup a chunkier texture. Toss in spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition. Make a Southwest version with taco seasoning instead of Italian herbs. Add red or white beans and garnish with shredded pepper jack or cheddar cheese.

Since it doesn’t have ricotta as an ingredient on the list, I forgot to buy it. It definitely needs it, it’s very very acidic without being doctored up. Luckily I had some heavy cream and cream cheese to balance it out. Also added some lowrys.
