Helpful Tips and Variations:
How can I replace the chicken pieces?. If you don’t want to use meat, you can simply replace the chicken with chickpeas, lentils, or mushrooms. If you still want to have some meat in your recipe, you can use ground beef or shrimp as a lighter alternative.
Can I add other veggies? Yes! You can add mushrooms, peas, or a bit of sweet potato for a slightly sweet flavor.
Is it necessary to use tomato paste? Using the tomato paste is completely optional. The soup already has tomato flavor thanks to the sundried tomatoes, but if you’d like to have more tomato flavor, then add it to the soup.
Is it necessary to use flour?. I used flour in this recipe to increase the thickness of the soup, you can replace it with cream cheese.
Can I slow cook this Marry Me Chicken Soup? Absolutely! You can use a slow cooker to make this creamy sauce. Mix all ingredients at once (except the cheese, spinach, cream and pasta). Cook on slow for about 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Then add the cooked pasta and the other ingredients left during the last few minutes.
How can I store any leftovers? First, the soup has to be at room temperature, then you can transfer it to a safe container or separate on different containers if you want to store portioned soup. You can enjoy it up to 4 days.
How can I serve this Marry Me Chicken Soup?
You can serve the soup pot in the middle of your table surrounded with medium soup bowls, and ramekins filled with herbs or cheese and some side dishes like a salad or garlic bread.
