Notes
- If you like more texture in your soup, you can use one can of crushed tomatoes and one can of diced tomatoes instead of two cans of crushed.
- To make this soup vegetarian: Replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- To Store: The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated for 3-4 days.
- To Freeze: Allow soup to come to room temperature. Freeze in freezer bags or containers. You can reheat in the microwave, or on low on the stove top.
