Serving vegetable noodle soup
Serve this noodle soup warm or hot.
It can be served as a soup as well as enjoyed as a comforting meal. You can serve some toasted bread or cheesy garlic bread on the side.
Storing the leftovers
If you leave this soup for a long time, the noodles will soak a lot of liquid. So, it's best to consume it within a day.
Or, if you want to make it in advance, don't add noodles to the broth. Make the soup without noodles and cook the noodles separately. Mix them when you want to serve.
If stored separately, the broth will be fine for 2-3 days and cooked noodles will be fine for up to 5 days.
