Hi Eleanor, thank you for pointing that out to me. It was a typo and I have fixed it. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth OR water as your liquid. Of course, using broth will give the recipe more flavor but water will also work. Again, thank you so much for bringing that to my attention and thank you for stopping by Swirls! Happy cooking, Gwynn
