For a richer flavor, try using olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Add a pinch of saffron threads to the chicken broth for an even more authentic Spanish flavor. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped jalapeno pepper along with the onion. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of cilantro for a beautiful presentation.
