Note
Storage: This soup freezes very well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to airtight containers for freezing.
Variation: For a heartier texture, add a package of mixed soup beans (about 2 cups) during the simmering stage.
Tip: The lemon juice is important for balancing the acidity of the tomatoes and the heat of the chili powder. Add it at the very end to preserve its bright flavor.
