Notes
Chef’s Tip
• For extra nourishment, add a spoonful of bone broth concentrate or collagen powder while simmering.
• To make it creamy, stir in a splash of half-and-half or coconut milk just before serving.
• Freeze portions in mason jars or freezer bags for up to 3 months — perfect for future “sick days.”
