Note

For best results, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the aromatics to prevent them from steaming.

You can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth for a richer flavor.

If you prefer a thicker soup, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water before adding it to the broth.

Toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
