Notes
For a smoother texture, you can blend the soup after it’s cooked. Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or zucchini for added nutrition. Adjust the spices to your liking—try adding red pepper flakes for a little heat! If you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. To reheat, warm on the stove or in the microwave, adding extra broth or water if necessary.
