Easiest Tomato and Rice Soup Recipe Ever

This time of year it seems like there are just not enough hours in the day! I don’t know about you – I imagine that most of you are equally busy – but the to-do list is much longer than there are hours in the day right now.

One thing I can always count on – my family gets hungry and looks forward to dinner every night 🙂 So no matter what is going on – dinner needs to get on the table.

This “recipe” is a dump recipe. Meaning that you take a number of prepared ingredients and by combining them together come up with something a bit new. The soup has become a hit, and I make up a double batch so we can also enjoy it for lunch.  In fact it was in the staff room one day during lunch that I saw a fellow teacher enjoying this soup. With only four ingredients all picked up at Trader Joe’s it was simple recipe to remember. I stopped by the store that evening and I was glad that I did!

The first time that I made this I used a whole jar of the Fall Harvest Salsa. The soup was a tad bit too spicy for some of the family. The next time I made the soup, I used 1/2 jar and that was perfect. Those that wanted more of a kick just stirred in a bit of the salsa directly into their bowl.

Directions

  1. Microwave one or two bags of rice according to directions on the package. Using two bags will make the soup thicker – more like what I call a stoup. I make it both ways depending on my mood. One child prefers the extra rice.
  2. Pour 2 Cartons of Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup into a large stock pot
  3. Add all remaining ingredients.  Remember the Fall Harvest Salsa is spicy – add amount according to your taste.
