    Could the chicken stock be substituted with vegetable stock? That way it would be vegetarian - 8/22/18

    This isn't vegetarian, it has chicken stock in it. Otherwise, it looks a very nice dish. - 3/16/18

    It's very good, but it's not vegetarian and too much sodium. My makeover increased the calories slightly (247 vs 220) but has no cholesterol, cut the sodium in half, added a gram and a half of fiber, and about half a gram of protein. https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-det
