For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Add a bay leaf to the broth while simmering for an extra layer of flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as rosemary, oregano, or chives. To make it vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil or coconut oil. Garnish with toasted nuts or seeds for added texture and nutrition.
