Notes
Aquafaba - use the liquid from the chickpea can instead of vegetable broth for added flavor and nutrients
Sun-dried tomato oil - don’t skip it - it adds rich and savory depth
Red pepper flakes - sprinkle in for a mild, spicy kick
Spinach/kale - stir in at the end to keep greens fresh and vibrant
