Tomato Rice Soup

4.4
(33)

This is an elegant version of the old-fashioned tomato and rice soup, studded with fresh seafood. If you want a simpler dish, omit the seafood. If you are lucky enough to have a garden full of fresh tomatoes, you can substitute them for the canned variety. Use about 1 and 1/2 pounds of ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ cup uncooked long-grain rice

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; cook and stir until they begin to soften, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  2. Rinse scallops, and if large cut scallops in half. Stir scallops into soup; cover and simmer until rice is tender and scallops are opaque, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
