I made this recipe with the ingredients I already had at home instead of going to the store. Instead of using chicken stock and beef broth, I opted for low sodium vegetable broth and water. I didn't have tomato paste or diced tomatoes with jalapeños, so I used diced tomatoes with garlic, basil, and oregano. I skipped the potatoes and celery, but added garbanzo beans, onions, zucchini, carrots, green beans, and garlic. I also threw in some cooked, crumbled sweet Italian chicken sausage. I seasoned it with Italian Herb seasoning, extra basil, parsley, and pepper. My husband loved it so much that he wants me to make it regularly, so my ingredient substitutions must have worked well.
