Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use turkey or tofu in place of chicken for a different protein source. You can also swap out the vegetables according to what you have on hand.
- Optional Variations: Spice it up with a dash of chili oil or add a soft-boiled egg as a topping for extra richness.
- Storage/Reheating Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding extra broth or water to retain creaminess.
