  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, water, and Italian seasoning.

Notes

This soup can chill in your fridge for about 3-4 days or hang out in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Mix up the meats or try vegan variations by swapping out the meat and using plant-based cheese.
