Tips, tricks, and Substitions for Marry Me Chicken Soup
- Red pepper flakes- Some people love em, some folks don't. Add as much or a little or none at all if you like. Paprika is a great substitute for red pepper flakes.
- Cream Cheese- Make your cream cheese is room temperature and cut into cubes so it melts into the soup better.
- Pasta- You can use any pasta you prefer: Cheese Tortellini, Penne, Orecchiette, Mac Shells, Elbow Macaroni. The pasta-bilities are endless! (see what I did there? 😉 )
- Don't have a Dutch Oven? No worries! You can also make Marry Me Chicken Soup Slowcooker -simply add the fresh spinach and basil at the end.
