Introduction

As written this recipe has a lot of sodium but I used low sodium broth, tomatos, and tomato sauce so that would lower the sodium quite a bit. I just couldn't find the lower sodium items on the ingredient list. : ) As written this recipe has a lot of sodium but I used low sodium broth, tomatos, and tomato sauce so that would lower the sodium quite a bit.
