Notes
- I used very small noodles but you can use noodles of your choice. Any kind will work really.
- This soup DOES NOT FREEZE well. Advising you in case you are planning to make it for your freezer. It will become mushy and need too much watering down and will lose it's flavour.
- It will keep in fridge for a few days.
