Note
Storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or broth if the soup has thickened.
Substitutions: For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. You can also add other vegetables like spinach or diced carrots for extra nutrition.
Tips: Freshly grated parmesan melts better and offers a richer flavor than pre-grated cheese. If you prefer a creamier soup, stir in a tablespoon of butter or a splash of heavy cream at the end.
