This makes a great base soup full of veggies with no seasoning (Diabetic Recipe). I used organic chicken broth to really reduce the sodium content. In addtion, depending on how much meat and liquid you prefer, this can be either soup or stew.
Some additional flavor ideas are listed below but you are only limited by your imagination:
• Stir in sour cream just before serving to thicken
• Sauté onions in olive oil before adding
• Use flavored diced canned tomatoes
• Try rotisserie chicken
• Add what ever seasoning you like (paprika, garlic etc)
• Change up the broth with a can or two of creamed soup (chicken, celery etc)
• Add rice, flavored or plan
