Notes
To make this recipe gluten free, confirm that the tomato juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and any packaged broth or seasonings used with the ground beef are certified gluten free, as ingredients and manufacturing practices may vary by brand. The soup ingredients themselves are naturally gluten free, so the main concern is cross-contact or hidden additives in packaged products.
