This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add whatever I have on hand and it always turns out great.

I wasn't impressed with this soup. The glass noodles were too chewy and the broth was too salty.

This soup is just okay. The broth is a bit bland and the vegetables are overcooked.
