I had a ton of leftovers, and it tasted even better the next day! Egg noodles are super absorbent, so if you see your soup thickening up too much, add more water when you heat it back up. An alternative to cooking over the stove top is to throw everything in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours!
The turmeric is what gives this soup its beautiful orange-yellow color!
