# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The broth develops incredible depth in under an hour
  • Everything happens in one pot, leaving minimal cleanup
02 -
  • Do not add noodles too early or they will absorb all the broth and become swollen
  • The broth intensifies as it sits, so season lightly at first
03 -
  • Cut all vegetables to the same size for even cooking
  • Let the soup rest for 10 minutes off heat before serving
