For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Consider adding a bay leaf during the cooking process for enhanced flavor. Adjust the amount of salt according to your preference. Fresh herbs can be used in place of dried herbs for a brighter flavor. If using fresh herbs, double the quantity specified.
