Old Fashioned Tomato Rice Soup Recipe

Jump to Recipe

Love apple Rice Soup is full of veggies, rice, herbs and, of course, tomatoes! This easy and budget friendly lycopersicon esculentum soup makes a bang-up light lunch or dinner and is perfect for meatless meals. Serve it up with a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic, merely totally upgraded combination.

You know what'south weird? Nigh of my family doesn't like tomatoes, but they dearest tomato soup which I find to be a puzzler. They even dearest this tomato soup which is the tomato-iest soup I make.

My tomato rice soup has a rich tomato broth that'due south accentuated with celery, onions, and carrots. Long grain rice adds texture and heartiness to this soup and it's finished off with fresh basil, which in my opinion, sends it into the over the top condolement nutrient zone.  I beloved fresh basil!

What yous'll need:

• Celery
• Carrot
• Onion
• Garlic
• Crushed tomatoes and petite diced tomatoes
• Vegetable or chicken broth
• Long grain rice
• Table salt, pepper, and carbohydrate
• Fresh Basil

Start off by prepping your vegetables. The celery, onion and garlic all get finely chopped, but I like to grate the carrot. Carrots tend to take more fourth dimension to melt and by grating the carrot, y'all ensure that all the vegetables will exist squeamish and tender when the soup is ready.

In a large stockpot, saute the vegetables and garlic in the olive oil until they are tender, about 10 minutes.

I dearest my cobalt blue stockpot that is pictured.  I actually got this one for a nuptials present almost 20 years ago and it's still bachelor on Amazon. It is the only pan I've had that long that'southward held up to difficult employ!

We'll utilize a combination of crushed tomatoes and petite diced tomatoes in this soup. Crushed tomatoes are often mixed with tomato puree, but have more body and are less cooked tasting than canned tomato plant sauce. By besides calculation petite diced tomatoes we'll ensure that in that location will be bites of tomato at the terminate of cooking, simply non large chunks. Feel gratis to substitute regular diced tomatoes if you like bigger pieces.

The chicken broth and rice are added at the same fourth dimension as the tomatoes. Flavor the soup with salt, pepper, and sugar.

Simmer just until the rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Expect until just before serving to stir in the fresh basil.

A annotation on Tomato Rice Soup leftovers:

The longer this soup sits, the more than the rice will soak up the broth. The more broth it soaks upward, the thicker it will go. I observe you have to add just a piffling scrap more than liquid to the leftovers the adjacent twenty-four hours to get a good texture. A splash of lycopersicon esculentum juice or broth volition do the flim-flam.
