Chicken Vermicelli Soup: A Light and Cozy Comfort Mea

Serve Warm: This soup is best enjoyed hot, with a side of crusty bread or a light salad.
Store Leftovers: Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding extra broth if needed.
Freezing Option: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. If freezing, store the soup without the noodles and add them after reheating to prevent them from becoming too soft.
Variants:

Vegetarian Version: Use tofu or tempeh instead of chicken for a plant-based option.
Spicy Kick: Add a sliced jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup for a spicy twist.
Lemongrass: For a refreshing and aromatic flavor, add a stalk of bruised lemongrass during the simmering process and remove it before serving.
