I added bacon to the soup, because I love it, and I absolutely adore the deep smoky flavor it adds to the broth. You can skip the bacon if you want, the soup will still taste delicious. This soup is so hearty and tasty, that it will become one of your go-to meals.

You can also make this soup with ground chicken, turkey, or even sausage. For a vegetarian option, use 2 cans of drained and rinsed beans, chickpeas are also a great alternative. I like to serve the soup garnished with cooked white rice and some fresh parsley.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Use high quality canned tomatoes, I like San Marzano canned tomatoes when I can get my hand on some. They add lots of flavor to the broth.
• Also, use fresh garlic and onion instead of garlic and onion powder, the fresh garlic will add way more flavor.
• You can add more veggies to it, like celery and bell peppers.
• Dried herbs like Italian seasoning and oregano will add great flavor to the soup.
• Adding Worcestershire sauce will enhance the beef flavor.
• Also, you can use either chicken or beef broth, just make sure you choose a low sodium option.
