Instructions:

1. Cook the meat: In a large pot, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat. Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Add aromatics: Add onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking another 30 seconds.

3. Build the soup base: Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
