For a richer flavor, try using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables like diced carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli. A dash of ginger or garlic adds a wonderful aromatic dimension to the dish. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
