    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.

    Marry Me Chicken soup is a super hearty dish loaded with spinach, chicken, and pasta. BUT no one turns down a dinner roll with their hearty bowl of soup right, so why not make my delicious Buttery Buns | Pull-Apart Butter Dinner Rolls these Rosemary Parker House dinner rolls are easy to make and are SO good! A fresh green salad is a good side dish too.

    Brush the rolls with the melted Rosemary butter and top with sea-salt. Serve warm.
