Hot Tomato Soup with Rice

When I started this blog there was a regular post series called “Soup Sunday“. Pretty soon I realized I can’t post soup every Sunday. Still my love for soup has not diminished. I love soup and eat it often – specially during winter time. So when I started cooking today my hot tomato soup with rice I had left over, I figured why not share a recipe.

When I cook soup I usually don’t do anything fancy but whip up something with ingredients I can find in the fridge and the pantry. Often times it is made of left-overs.

Soups with added rice are a childhood favorite. When I used to be sick and my mom would ask me what I’d like to eat I would always say rice soup. It was basically just some chicken broth with a few carrots and rice. I loved it.

So today I got a bit more adventures – or choose the quicker recipe.

Ingredients you need:

• 250 ml Tomate passata (sieved tomatoes)
• 250 ml water
• 2 tsp pesto
• 1/2 tps chilli flakes
• salt
• 1/2-1 cup of cooked rice
• 1/2-1 cup cubed feta cheese

1. Pour tomato and water into a pot and start heating.
2. Add pesto, salt and chili flakes. Let simmer for a bit.
3. When close to being done add rice for three minutes.
4. Add feta before serving.

Enjoy your quick and easy hot tomato soup.
