For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. If you don't have anchovies, a small squeeze of anchovy paste will also add a salty, umami depth. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as diced carrots, celery, or zucchini, for extra nutrients and flavor. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. If using store-bought broth, opt for a low-sodium variety. A drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil just before serving enhances the flavor and adds a luxurious touch.
