threw in a box of noodles..when it was done, all I saw was noodles..lol..I took out a lot of the noodles and put in another container and put butter on top..that was good tasting but was disappointed in the soup..No broth left, all went into the noodles..I wanted some soup so made more broth and took some noodles and veggies out of the containers and put broth in with the noodles into a bowl..the rest of the broth I put in with the 1st container..now I'm caught up with soup left in the 1st container..Learned a lesson , I hope..lol
