Common Mistakes, Notes, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes: Roasted garlic gives a deep, sweet flavor — make it ahead and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Store noodles separately from the soup to prevent them from going mushy.
Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months without the noodles.
Swaps: Swap kale for spinach or Swiss chard. Use white beans or lentils instead of chickpeas.
Tips: Add a kombu strip while simmering for extra umami depth.
