Transparent ramen broth texture

I’m trying to make a model of a ramen bowl from Ponyo, but I can’t seem to get the broth right - it’s either completely opaque or if I crank up transmission up to ~0.9-1 (or use Glass BSDF) it just looks like I put noodles into a bowl of tea.

This is my render and setup:

I am looking to make it more of a transparent broth but now I am also ok with a more hearty broth, just not tea xD
Any help appreciated!

Nice Ramen!

Excuse my primitive cooking skills (pun absolutely intended) but here’s what I came up with:

Took the liberty and added an iOS (integrated Oil System)

If that’s what you’re going for, here’s that blend file:

Soup.blend (2.6 MB)

This request is similar to this recent thread - maybe take a look there for some tips.

Yes. I also made this topic a while back

Thank you so much! Sorry for late reply, I got too distracted figuring out the animation for the same project xD This worked after I tweaked it a bit to fit my needs plus I made the bowl white inside because without that I was still having some troubles with the broth being too dark.
