What Causes Weird Smell In Urine?

I am wondering what might be causes of urine smelling strongly of chicken broth or soup. I already take a daily prophylactic antibiotic due to frequent UTI s, so I know I do not have a UTI. I m wondering if increased proteins in my urine could be the cause, or one of the following diseases/conditions: Lupus, Scleroderma, or Vasculitis. Thank you so much for your time and help.

The antibiotic itself may be the cause of changes in the smell of urine.

Lupus, scleroderma and vasculitis are not known to cause changes in urine smell.

A urine analysis may be useful in identification of the cause. It's a simple, fast and of low cost.

Best regards.
