✅ Already SOS-free as written, so no swaps are needed. A few Kitchen Monk notes:
| Ingredient | Kitchen Monk note | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor | Garlic, oregano, cumin, and celery seed do the work; finish with a squeeze of lemon if you like | As written |
| Optional barley (creator’s note) | A whole grain that adds heartiness; it contains gluten | Creator’s option |
| Potatoes and yam | Skin on keeps more fiber | Optional |
📊 Made as written, the creator’s nutrition estimate applies. Full substitution reference →
🧑🏫 Kitchen Monk learning note: flavor here comes from herbs, spices, garlic, and long simmering, not salt. The creator’s optional barley swap adds gluten, so skip it if you avoid gluten. Learn the SOS-free way →
