Notes
Ingredients and Substitutions:Vegetables: you can really use almost any vegetable you have in the fridge or the garden here! Try adding mushrooms, green beans, kale, cherry tomatoes, or any other of your favorites. Keep in mind that firmer vegetables should be added at the beginning of the cook time, and softer vegetables at the end.Seasonings: I kept the seasonings simple and focused on the flavor of all those veggies. Feel free to add some spice with red pepper flakes or cayenne, or add in fresh herbs from the garden as well.Cooking liquid: I like to use mostly broth and add in heavy cream to give it richness and creaminess. I do not recommend using a lighter cream because there is a chance it will curdle with the high cooking temperature.
