01 -
- It comes together in under an hour but tastes like it simmered all day
- The vegetable additions make it feel complete without needing anything else
02 -
- The noodles will continue absorbing liquid if stored overnight so you may need to add more broth when reheating
- Adding the lemon juice at the end brightens everything in a way salt cannot achieve
03 -
- Shred a rotisserie chicken and stir it in during the last 5 minutes for a quick weeknight version
- Freeze portions in freezer safe bags for those days when cooking feels impossible
