              Notes

              This soup is a gift that keeps on giving. Like many tomato-based stews, the flavor actually improves after a night in the refrigerator. Place leftover Smoky Cowboy Soup in a bowl in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For freezing, use freezer bags and store for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat to prevent the potatoes from becoming too mushy.
