Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best consumed within three days for optimal freshness.
  • Freezing: While the soup can be frozen, it's best to freeze just the broth and add fresh noodles and veggies when reheating.
  • Pairing: This soup pairs beautifully with a side of spring rolls or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Serving Style: Consider serving the soup in individual bowls with all the garnishes on the side, allowing guests to customize their bowls.
  • Leftover Chicken: Use leftover chicken from previous meals to save time on preparation while still enjoying a hearty soup.
