Notes
Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. You may need to add more broth if the noodles absorb the broth during storage. Save Time Chopping Vegetables
You can buy a premade frozen celery and onion mix in some grocery stores. I like to do something similar at home by buying bags of whole celery and whole onions and chopping and freezing myself. I chop the vegetables, freeze flat on a parchment lined cookie sheet, then once frozen I transfer to wide mouth mason jars to preserve in the freezer for quick use. Bonus, storing in glass prevents your freezer from smelling like onions! Having these frozen chopped vegetables available makes cooking so much faster, and saves on dish washing time as well! Instant Pot Recipe
I make this primarily as an instant pot recipe. I love how fast it is! I will also give stovetop instructions so that you can make this meal no matter what kitchen equipment you have - no pressure cooker required!
