My daughter made this with chicken broth. It was quick, easy, and tasted great. We will definitely make again.

I left out the squash and substituted kale for spinach but otherwise followed the recipe as above. I did add some onion and garlic and the smell while cooking was delicious! I also topped it off with a little Parmesan cheese. Overall this was a good base recipe and I would definitely use it again.
