For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for the ground pork. Feel free to add other vegetables such as shiitake mushrooms or carrots. If you don't have MSG, you can omit it, but it does enhance the umami flavor. Serve with steamed white rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
