To make a truly vegetarian dish for my wife, I substitute water we used in steaming veggies for the chicken broth. Also, add shittake mushrooms, a good mess of leeks, fresh dill, and whatever veggies are left in the refrigerator. I also find using some parsnips to sweeten the pot naturally.
This was just as good as a local restaurant we use to go to years ago.
