I made the recipe as directed, using canned 100 % fat-free chicken broth, and both my husband and I agreed that the canned broth was too strong and had too much of the typical "canned chicken soup" flavor found in prepackaged foods. When I made it again, I used Penzey's chicken soup base and could control the amount used for a much lighter broth flavor that really let the flavors of the vegetables come through.
