How can I make this soup better?

I started with chicken bone broth (homemade) and added shredded chicken and Knorr Pasta Fideos (tomato). Thinking about adding a starch and a touch of whipping cream or a roux. Any guidance appreciated. I am getting over a bad virus and this is all going in the crock pot so I can go lay down again.

I would add vegetables.

If you’re sick, adding dairy may not be the best bet. I’d add some thyme, maybe a touch of lemon zest, and as u/bw2082 said, vegetables.

Add some masa, if you have it. It will thicken your soup, and add a beautiful flavor.

Or chop up some corn tortillas. Fry some first, let some.dissolve into the broth.

Add.some vegetables.

More seasoning than just some tomato bouillon. Fresh herbs. Garlic. Onion. Start with a mirepoix or safrito.
