Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a different type of pasta?
A: Yes! While elbow macaroni is the classic choice, you can use any small pasta like shells, rotini, or even penne.
Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can make the soup ahead of time, but keep in mind that the pasta will continue to absorb liquid as it sits. When reheating, add extra broth or milk to bring it back to the desired consistency.
Q: Can I make this soup dairy-free?
A: Yes, to make this soup dairy-free, use a plant-based cheese and a dairy-free milk alternative like almond or coconut milk. Be sure to choose a cheese that melts well for that creamy texture.
Q: Can I cook this soup in a slow cooker?
A: Absolutely! Brown the ground beef, onions, and garlic first, then transfer them to a slow cooker. Add the broth, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard, and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Stir in the macaroni during the last 30 minutes of cooking, and add the cheese and cream just before serving.
