  1. Not really vegetarian if you use chicken broth! ;) Maybe change to chicken or vegetable broth?

  2. Thank you. I changed it for you. :) I figure vegetarians know how to substitute things.

  3. I just made this last night for dinner with all the leftover veggies and cheese in the fridge. It turned out really well.

    I also discovered this recipe is faster and even better if you shred all the veggies and the block of cheese in the food processor.

  4. To make MSPI friendly, substitute the cheese with goat cheddar cheese. Can be found at Trader Joes.

  5. Gluten free: use cornstarch or potato flour to thicken
