NOTES

If you want some crunch, I recommend crumbling a few tortilla chips on top.

The noodles will keep soaking up the broth until they cool, so store leftovers in the fridge immediately. And don’t be startled if your soup turns into a noodle pot as you eat. Just add a splash more broth when heating the leftovers.
