    Looks wonderful for an occasional treat! At 714 mg sodium tho, I couldn't use this on a regular basis as that's half my daily sodium right there. I guess I could replace the broth with water or omit the 1/4 tsp of salt? Maybe add onion and garlic to replace some of the flavor lost by downing the sodium? Have you tried that?

    I havent tried it yet but I plan on making it this weekend You can always use low sodium broth too or a home made broth and then this way you can manage the salt you put in
