Chef Tips
- Try using frozen vegetables instead
- You can use ketchup or marinara sauce instead of tomato paste if you don’t have it
- Add ground beef, pork, turkey, or chicken for a heartier version. Add it in the beginning with the onions!
- Adding quick cooking rice such as Uncle Bens
- Add fresh spinach, kale, frozen peas etc. at the end for more veggies
