Notes

This ↑ is what I did the last time I made this.

Additions/Mods

• miso and/or soy/tahini to make a base for ramen (miso is not GF)
• noodles, rice, potatoes, etc., to give the soup some body, but it’s pretty good on its own, too (use GF pasta)
• could use skin-on thighs for more flavor, but you have to skim the fat, too
• white wine
• tinned broth
• bouillon
