Notes
If you have leftovers, let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months, leaving space for expansion. For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth. You may add vegetables like carrots or spinach for extra nutrition and blend in some cooked potatoes for a creamier texture.
