For a vegan option, substitute vegetable bouillon granules for chicken bouillon, and nutritional yeast for Parmesan cheese. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, to add your own unique twist. If you don't have red wine on hand, you can use a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for a similar tang. Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to your taste preferences. For a lower-sodium option, use a low-sodium soy sauce.
