Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, you can add a bit of smoky paprika or cumin to the spice mix, or even a splash of red wine to the broth for added depth. If you’re catering to a crowd that loves a bit of heat, a few dashes of hot sauce or some crushed red pepper flakes can do wonders. For those avoiding salt, use a salt-free seasoning blend and low-sodium beef broth.
