Notes

  • Always toast the noodles first. This gives them a delicious extra flavor.
  • Use only roma or plum tomatoes for the best consistency and taste in the soup.
  • Use white or yellow onions, not red or other varieties.
  • Don’t be afraid to season your soup. If the flavor doesn’t pop, add a bit more salt.
  • Don’t over cook the soup, it only needs 4 minutes and a 5 minute natural release in an electric pressure cooker to be cooked to perfection.
  • As your noodles sit in the broth it will continue to absorb the broth and you will need to add more water / broth when warming up again
