Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use a spicy sausage. If your family prefers a milder flavor, opt for a sweet Italian sausage instead. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition. For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with your favorite plant-based sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
