Notes
How to prevent the liquid from soaking up?
To prevent this, save 1 cup of water (or broth) until right before serving. Pour in at the very end, stir, and serve the soup immediately.
No vegetable broth? Swap out for chicken broth.
If using canned tomato sauce, use an additional 1 cup of water.
