Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
6 tomatoes, peeled and quartered
1 large potato, peeled and quartered
6 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup long-grain rice

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, and continue cooking for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently. Add the potato, and 2 cups of water. Season with the bay leaf, garlic and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining water, and bring to a boil again. Discard bay leaf, and strain the solids from the broth, reserving both. Puree the vegetables in a food processor or blender, and stir them back into the broth. Bring to a boil, and add the rice. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Serve hot.

I tried this recipe, but it didn't turn out well. The soup was too watery and bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding less sugar next time.

I've made this soup several times, and it's always a hit. It's so flavorful and comforting. I love that it's made with simple, everyday ingredients. I usually serve it with a crusty baguette.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden, and the soup had a wonderful flavor. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. Will definitely be making this again.
