For a richer flavor, sauté the garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding the tomatoes. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Fresh basil makes a beautiful garnish and adds a bright, aromatic note. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your liking.
