Notes

This soup is easily customizable; feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or herbs. For meal prep, store noodles separately to prevent them from getting soggy when reheating. Leftover soup can be frozen, but remember to exclude the noodles from the freezing process. For added depth of flavor, consider simmering store-bought broth with fresh herbs or spices before adding it to the pot.
