Add broth, tomatoes and their juice, tomato paste, and 3 cups water to pot; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, 20 minutes.

Con Poulos Cook's Notes Freeze soup in small containers, then pull out only what you need; there's no need to thaw the soup before reheating. Print
