Tips

  • Add an extra 1/2 cup of broth or tomato sauce if your mix seems a bit too dry after simmering.
  • If you use water instead of broth, you may need to add more salt to taste.
  • You can substitute in any veggies of your choice; zucchini and corn also work great.
  • For topping ideas, you can use chili flakes and grated parmesan for an extra flavor kick.
