Tips:  

- For a vegetarian twist, substitute chicken with

chickpeas and use vegetable broth instead of chicken

broth.  

- Add a splash of red wine or a pinch of red pepper flakes

for extra depth and a bit of heat.  

- Serve with a side of crusty garlic bread to soak up the

flavorful broth and make it a heartier meal.
