Note

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of ground red pepper to taste.

If you don't have condensed chicken broth, you can use regular chicken stock and reduce the amount of water accordingly.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Feel free to substitute other vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or mushrooms for variety.
