Tomato soup is so familiar to us that we might think it's kind of boring. But what if we add some rice and chunky tomatoes? We promise...instead of being bored, you're gonna be wowed!
What You'll Need
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, coarsely chopped (see Note)
- 3 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cup (two 5.5-ounce cans) tomato vegetable juice
- 1 cup uncooked long- or whole-grain rice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
What to Do
- In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove cover and cook 10 more minutes. Serve hot.
Note
To use fresh tomatoes instead of canned, place 5 medium-sized tomatoes in a pot of boiling water for 10 seconds. Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon and allow to cool slightly. Peel and coarsely chop. Combine with the remaining ingredients and proceed as directed.
