this thing has been all over the internet.

why so popular? there is always an appeal to making something incredibly simple from good, seasonal ingredients. the fact that it comes together in less than 15 minutes is also a plus. and it makes for pretty photos.

    I was so inspired by your beautiful photos, that I tried this out myself this weekend! I used low sodium chicken broth instead of water and added mushrooms and it turned out great.
