Chicken – good reason not to add crushed tomatoes to chicken soup

chickensouptomatoes

Is there a good reason not to add crushed tomatoes to chicken soup?

I am new at cooking soup, but I think tomatoes taste good and that's why I want to add them. But I've also had garlic bread just before chocolate and it ruined the chocolate. Is there a similar flavor clash from tomatoes and chicken soup?

The soup's ingredients are:

  • A whole chicken
  • Carrots
  • Onions
  • Celery
  • Water

I might add some pepper too.

I added the tomatoes and it made the soup taste better. I tasted the soup without the tomatoes first. I think if I was better at making broth I would have wanted to preserve its flavor. As it was tonight, it needed something more and the tomatoes helped
