FAQ

Gluten Free Lasagna Soup Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have olive oil, you can swap it with avocado oil or even coconut oil, though the coconut might change the flavor a bit.
• If you’re out of turkey sausage, try using chicken sausage or ground pork instead, both of which work well and are usually gluten free.
• If crushed tomatoes arent available, you can mix tomato puree with a little diced tomatoes to get a similar consistency.
• Instead of gluten free chicken broth, low sodium vegetable broth is a good alternative that still brings plenty of flavor.
• When you cant find gluten free lasagna noodles, regular gluten free pasta or even rice noodles can be used in their place.

Pro Tips

1. If your lasagna noodles get too mushy, try adding them a minute or two later in the cooking process so they keep a bit of texture.
2. Make sure you really brown the sausage well before adding the onions cuz that extra caramelization gives the soup a richer flavor.
3. Don’t rush the garlic step. Overcooked garlic can taste bitter, so let it cook just momentarily to release its flavor but not burn it.
4. For even more flavor, consider using a higher quality chicken broth if you have it. It can really take your soup up a notch without extra effort.
