The original recipe I found from that food blogger calls for lasagna noodles. I switched those out for rigatoni noodles because I thought the lasagna would be too cumbersome to eat with a spoon and I wanted more noodles per bite.
After making this, I would double the amount of chicken that the recipe calls for because there was just not enough per bite. If you like your soup super chunky with lots of things per bite I would suggest adding more chicken!
The other thing I did differently was the garlic. The original recipe calls for a ton of garlic which I thought was just a lot for a soup. I am sure roasting your own garlic would make this soup that much better, but for time purposes I decided to just add the garlic to the soup and cut down the portion size.
