Tomato Rice Soup (Oil-Free)
The rains have finally come and brought with them cravings for tomato soup! I’ve missed this soup so much… the wonderful union of onion, garlic, tomatoes and rice.
I make tomato soup slightly different than the regular way. Interested in knowing how? You’ll have to watch the video or read the recipe to find out.
I add an important ingredient. There’s not even a drop of oil in the soup and it’s absolutely perfect. I didn’t think it was even possible to make such incredible soup without any oi! Now it’s your turn to try.

Ingredients:
10 medium tomatoes
1 onion

1 tsp sweet paprika
1/3 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp chicken bouillon
Salt (if needed, to taste)
4 Tbsp rice
Preparation:
1. Roughly chop the tomatoes and the garlic and grate the carrot and then transfer to a food processor. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, tomato paste and spices, add a(n additional) cup of boiling water and mix until well combined, then transfer to the vegetables in the food processor and blend in pulses until you get a semi-smooth consistency.
2. Bring the liter of water to a boil in a pot.
3. When the water has reached a boil, add the contents of the food processor, cover and boil for 5 minutes. Add the rice, cover and lower the heat. Cook for 30 minutes and leave covered for an additional 10 minutes.
