• For a vegetarian option, swap chicken broth with vegetable broth.
• Add cooked shrimp or roasted veggies for extra flavor.
• If you like it cheesy, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top.
• Make sure your pan is large enough to stir easily to prevent sticking.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess.
