Notes
Toast the garlic lightly – Let the garlic turn light golden before adding broth. This deepens the buttery aroma and gives the soup a rich, comforting base.
Add noodles last – Cook the noodles just before serving so they stay springy and don’t soak up all the broth. Perfect for outdoor cooking where timing matters.
Adjust the broth balance – If the soup tastes too rich, add a splash of water. It keeps your camping cooking light but still full of flavor.
