1. I often add some

cooked and crumbled Italian sausage for a complete meal in a bowl.

Have also been known to play wih adding various seasonings.

And on one occasion subbed beef stock for the chicken stock.

Haven't made this in awhile. Thanks for posting. I will have to work it into he menu sometime soon.

2. My daughter is a vegetarian and wanted a meat free dinner

3. She should enjoy this

Is she a strict vegetarian?

If so, you may want to sub vegetable stock for the chicken stock. Or maybe use a tomato base stock.

In any event it sounds delish. Enjoy!

4. She's a very loose vegetarian

She usually doesn't eat red meat but will occasionally. Especially when she's home from school and I'm doing the cooking. So I usually cook seafood or chicken when she's around.
