Notes

Serve this soup with sides like buttered toast or a crisp green salad. For a heartier meal, top with a soft-boiled egg or spoon over steamed rice. A squeeze of lemon brightens the ginger notes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze without noodles for up to 3 months.
