Notes

To elevate your serving experience, consider adding a sprinkle of chili flakes or a squeeze of fresh lime for a pop of flavor. This soup can be plated in deep bowls topped with extra herbs for a nice presentation. Storing your leftover soup is simple; let it cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container. It can stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. If you need to store it longer, consider freezing the soup in individual portions. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to keep it from thickening too much.
