To prepare, simply bring the recommended amount of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the contents of the soup mix to the boiling water. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients separate and begin to rehydrate. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 5-10 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the vegetables are softened. You can customize it further by adding cooked chicken, fresh herbs, or other favorite vegetables.
