I wish I would’nt have put the mozzarella in as well, it didnt melt all the way and was gloopy.

A few tips: I used whole peeled tomatoes, and blended them in the blender first before putting them into the pot with the other ingredients. Makes for a really smooth soup. Next time I will omit the Mozzarella cheese from the pot of soup, and instead garnish in the individual bowls of soup. It was a bit of a disaster to clean the pot, ladle, and scrubbing brush used to clean the pot. I also like to cook the meat separately and drain the fat off before adding to the onions and garlic. Last tip, keep the cooked noodles separate from the soup. Add them into your already warmed soup when ready to eat. Definitely like my noodles al dente. If added to the soup pot and there are leftovers, they tend to get too soggy for my taste. Hope this helps.
