Hello I want to try to make this for my husband except he wants chicken in it . Do you think that if I make it with chicken broth instead of vegetable broth it will be ok? Or should I still just put the veggi broth. *Never really made soups before 🙁
Nava says
Hi Flora — since VegKitchen is a vegan site, I can't recommend using chicken or chicken broth. Try it just as it is — your hubby may not miss the chicken!
Lizzie says
My 21 month old loved this... I used spinach, baby corn, mushroom, spring onion, red pepper, broccoli, tofu and broth and a dash of balsamic; in any old quants. Just chopped it all up really small so it was easier for her to eat and avoiding blending. I batch cooked and have frozen pots for in the week. I felt so good watching her eat such a healthy meal 🙂
Nava says
So glad this was a hit with your little one, Lizzie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
