Ideas to try

• Canned diced tomatoes come in several varieties—choose fire-roasted to turn up the heat.

• Shred cooked chicken breasts instead of chopping them for a different texture.

• Look for mushroom broth as a nice change from regular vegetable broth.

• If you can’t find broccoli slaw mix, opt for packaged coleslaw mix instead.
