Notes
- Use fire-roasted tomatoes for added smoky flavor, but regular diced tomatoes work as well.
- To make the soup heartier, add cooked sausage or shredded chicken if not vegetarian.

- The soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 4 days and freezes nicely.
- Customize seasoning with other herbs like bay leaf or rosemary if desired.
