Note

Adaptations

For a vegetarian soup, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the beef.  If you’re gluten free, replace the soy-sauce with coconut aminos or tamari gluten-free soy-sauce. No ratio needed; they are direct substitutes! If, however, you think this may be too salty for you, lessen the amount of soy-sauce or aminos and replace the liquid with more broth! This dish is also vegan once you replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the bee
