To prepare, you will typically bring a specified amount of water to a boil in a saucepan. Then, you add the contents of the soup mix to the boiling water. Stir well to ensure the noodles and vegetables separate and begin to cook. Allow the soup to simmer for the recommended time, usually around 10 to 15 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the vegetables are rehydrated. For a more complete meal, you can add cooked shredded chicken or other desired ingredients during the simmering process.
