Tips & Substitutions

You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for brightness. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce. This soup can also be garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor.

Consider topping it with diced tomatoes, cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil for added flair. This dish also complements well with hearty chicken recipes like Hawaiian Shoyu Chicken.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent browning, cover the surface of the soup with plastic wrap.
