Note

* You can substitute the chicken flavor soupbase with beef flavor for a richer, heartier broth profile.

** Customize your soup by adding pre-cooked chicken, beef, noodles, rice, or chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions. Ensure raw meats are cooked thoroughly before serving.

For a thicker soup, consider adding a tablespoon of rice or pasta to absorb the broth.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
