Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. Cook the base, cool it, and refrigerate. Add fresh noodles and reheat gently when you are ready to eat.

What is the best way to keep noodles from getting mushy?

Cook noodles separately and add them into each bowl when serving, or keep them in a separate container in the fridge if you plan to reheat leftovers.

Can I use bone broth instead of chicken broth?

Absolutely. Bone broth adds deeper, richer flavor and extra nutrients. It will make the soup feel more robust and is great for chilly nights.

How do I make the soup kid-friendly if my child is picky about ginger?

Reduce the amount of ginger by half and keep the pieces finely minced or grated. The flavor will be gentler. You can also add parsley or a small bit of lemon to balance flavors children enjoy.

Is this soup good for freezing?

Yes, but freeze the noodles separately. Broth and chicken freeze well for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove.
