Notes
- Broth: My personal preference instead of chicken or vegetable broth in this recipe is to use 6 cups water + 1 1/2 tablespoons Better than Bouillon (Chicken Base) or Vegetarian base.
- Storage: Bring it completely to room temperature then seal in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Place in freezer-safe plastic containers and bring to refrigerator temperature first before freezing for up to 3 months.
