For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing a diced onion and a clove of garlic in a little olive oil before adding the tomatoes and broth.

Vegetarian? Substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch.
