For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the vegetables in a skillet with the margarine before microwaving. This will add depth to the dish. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper to your liking. For a milder dish, omit them altogether. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried parsley. Serve with a side of crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.

Oct 18, 2023I substituted the cream of chicken soup with a homemade roux. It took a little longer, but the flavor was worth it!
