Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I make this soup vegetarian/vegan?
A: Absolutely! This recipe is naturally vegetarian, and easily vegan. Just ensure your vegetable broth is vegan-friendly.
Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: While best served immediately, you can store leftover soup in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The noodles may absorb some of the broth, so you might need to add a little extra water when reheating.
Q: What kind of rice noodles should I use?
A: We recommend using flat rice noodles (like Pad Thai noodles) or vermicelli rice noodles. Choose a width you enjoy!
Q: Can I add protein to this soup?
A: Yes! Tofu, shrimp, chicken, or even edamame would be great additions. Add them during the last few minutes of cooking to ensure they are heated through.
