About 3 1/2 cups total diced tomatoes for the 28 oz.Stock: No need to keep it vegetarian? Then chicken stock will work well, too!Kale: Use another hearty leafy green like spinach, although add spinach in the last 5 minutes.Ensure Even Chopping So that everything cooks at the same rate, chop your veggies in even sizes and your potatoes in even sizes.
