Notes
*Generously measure the seasonings for extra flavor.
*Making this soup ahead of time allows the flavors to come together for an enhanced taste.
*Add a few Tablespoons of tomato paste to increase the tomato flavor.
*If you decide to add pasta to the soup, I suggest using no more than 1/4 cup (1/2 cup for larger pasta), increasing the broth by at least 1 cup and adding in extra seasonings.
*If you decide to add rice to the soup, I suggest using about 1/4 cup, increasing the broth another 1/2 cup and adding in extra seasonings.
