Second time making this love it tons!!!
This definitely needed more liquid. Especially the second day, more of a pasta dish than a soup. I guess the pasta soaked up more of the liquid. I stuck right with the recipe except instead of reg diced tomatoes I used Fire Roasted Diced garlic tomatoes.
Great, flavorful recipe! Hubby complimented me on it. We agreed that the tomato paste and red pepper flakes were essential to the deep flavor. Only changes I made were adding a handful of chopped spinach and a diced celery stalk bc I had them. Also, I used actual chicken parmesan breastsI had made a couple of nights ago.
The best soup ever
It was a very good soup. I think needs more liquid. Next time will add a cup more broth. Also I think the garlic could go to 2 cloves. Very heavy garlic flavor as written.
I didn’t have any penne so I used medium shells instead. Whenever I make it it’s definitely more of pasta than a soup but it’s delicious so who cares. I double the amount of garlic.
Have done it before as of now and always fabulous!! The flavors mix so well together!! LOVE the cheese strings as I spoon in into the bowls!! A+++
Delicious and easy
