Notes

  • Swap vegetable broth for chicken broth for extra depth (if not vegan).
  • Add zucchini, spinach, or green beans for extra vegetables.
  • Include red pepper flakes, paprika, or cumin for added spice.
  • For more protein, stir in cooked shredded chicken or beans (note: raises calorie count).
  • Make in a slow cooker after sautéing veggies—cook on low for 4–6 hours.
