Tomato and rice soup puree
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. The tomato soup turns out a rich orange color, with a bright flavor and a delicate basil aroma. It contains crunchy pieces of ham and rice grains. This soup is delicious—you'll love it! You can add croutons, and if you prefer it spicier, add half a chili pepper when frying the onion. Serve the soup hot.
