Tips & Substitutions
For a heartier soup, you can add potatoes or swap the egg noodles for whole grain pasta. If you want a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken bouillon. Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can enhance the flavor. For a slightly spicy kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes.
