Recipe Notes:

• The soup is best when served hot and fresh. 
• The soup can be reheated over low until warmed through after refrigeration
• Cooking the Chickapea +Greens Spiral noodles outside of the soup is recommended to keep the starchy water out of the soup
• The soup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
