Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tips:

Add a splash more of water to the blender, if necessary.
The noodles will soak up the broth. If not serving right away, reserve some of the broth. Mix broth with the soup right before serving.
Instead of homemade tomato sauce: Use 1 8-ounce can of tomato sauce and blend with onion, garlic, and 1 cup water.

For a completely vegan recipe: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
