To prepare the soup, simply combine the contents of the package with the recommended amount of water or broth in a saucepan.

You can enhance the soup by adding fresh ingredients like diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or cooked chicken. It can also be used as a base for more complex dishes, adding a rich, savory foundation.
