🔥 Tips & Variations
- For a creamy version, stir a little heavy cream into the soup before serving.
- Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for extra veggies.
- Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter version.
- Make ahead: soup can be cooked without noodles, refrigerated, and noodles added just before reheating.
