How to be creative
  • Add cooked chicken or shrimp for added protein.
  • Incorporate different vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more color and nutrition.
  • Serve with avocado slices for creaminess and a fresh flavor.
Important Tips
  • For a richer flavor, toast the noodles in a dry pan until golden brown before adding to the broth.
  • Adjust the salt based on the sodium content of the broth used.
  • Let the soup sit for a few minutes after cooking; it allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
