Quickly and easily prepared, an excellent mid-week supper. I made no changes other than using vegetable broth because I prefer it. We enjoyed this, added a sprinkling of parmesan and a good grind of black pepper! Really doesn't get any easier than this ..... very much enjoyed, Annacia, thank you! Made for PRMR tag game.
