  • I use “Petite Diced” tomatoes that are about 1/2″ cubes – the regular canned “diced” tomatoes are what I would call coarsely chopped – about 3/4″ cubes.
  • You can substitute leftover chicken, shredded.
  • If you don’t have beef broth, you can substitute chicken broth, but the flavor will not be as rich.
