Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. You can also add other vegetables like peas or green beans for added texture and nutrition. If you prefer a thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the soup during the simmering stage. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and feel free to add more herbs like basil or oregano for a different flavor profile.
