Tips

  • 💡 For a vegetarian version, substitute the smoked sausage with a plant-based sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • 💡 Feel free to add other vegetables like turnips or parsnips for additional flavor and nutrition.
  • 💡 Serve with crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious broth.
