2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
½ cup low-fat milk

Tips:

Select ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best taste. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color.
Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and roast them in a preheated oven until they are slightly charred.
Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli is best for this soup. Look for broccoli that has tightly closed florets and a deep green color.
Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking the broccoli will make it mushy.
Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano, to give the soup a different flavor profile.
Serve the soup with a crusty bread or crackers: Tomato and broccoli soup is delicious served with a crusty bread or crackers. You can also top the soup with grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
