Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use different noodles?
A: Yes! While we recommend Chinese noodles, you can substitute with ramen, udon, or even spaghetti in a pinch.
Q: Can I make this soup vegetarian?
A: Absolutely! Substitute the chicken with tofu or mushrooms and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
