  6. While the broth is simmering, prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  8. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  9. To serve, place a portion of the cooked rice noodles in bowls and ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the top.
