❓ Q&A
Q: Can I use beef instead of pork sausage?
A: Yes! Ground beef or even chicken sausage works—just adjust seasoning to taste.

A: Strictly speaking, carnivore often includes dairy, but if you need dairy-free, you can use only broth and meat (it won’t be creamy).
Q: Can I add eggs to this soup?
A: Definitely! Whisk in 2 beaten eggs at the end (like egg drop soup) for extra protein.
Q: Is this soup good for meal prep?
A: Yes—it reheats beautifully and even tastes better the next day as flavors meld.
