You can go down the vegetarian route - by using vegetable stock. Or to add a little extra oomph, you can use chicken stock. I like to use chicken stock. Homemade chicken stock is delicious for a real luxury feel, but you can also use boiling water mixed with 3 chicken stock cubes and it will still taste amazing!
