Very nice! I saw tomatoes mentioned in the directions but not in the ingredients so I used 1 (14.5 oz) can diced (petite diced as I don't like big chunks of tomato). The only thing I changed was shredded carrot instead of chopped and I reduced the salt by just a little because I had some very flavorful broth and it didn't need too much extra salt. This will make great lunches for the coming week. Thanks for sharing!
