For a vegetarian option, substitute the kielbasa sausage with plant-based sausage or smoked tofu. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or add a bay leaf during simmering. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions before serving for added freshness.
