Savory Mexican Rice Soup
Ingredients
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup rice, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 5 tablespoons grated Mexican Cotija cheese
  • 2 sprigs parsley, chopped
Instructions
1
Boil water in a large cooking vessel until it reaches its boiling point.
2
Add uncooked white rice to the pot and gradually stir in the water, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
3
Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the rice is nearly tender.
4
Heat a small cooking vessel over medium heat.
5
Add diced tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly caramelized on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes.
6
Carefully remove the skin from the tomatoes and transfer them to a food processor or blender.
7
Add minced onion, crushed garlic, and chicken bouillon to the blender.
8
Process the tomato mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
9
Heat a small amount of oil in a cooking vessel over medium heat.
10
Pour the blended tomato mixture into the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, until the flavors have melded together, 3 to 5 minutes.
11
Gradually add the tomato mixture to a separate cooking vessel with cooked white rice. Season with salt and cover the vessel with a lid.
12
Continue to cook over low heat until the rice is soft and tender, 7 to 10 minutes more.
13
Remove from heat and let sit for a short period of time before serving.
14
Sprinkle shredded Cotija cheese on top of the cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley.
15
Cover the vessel again with a lid and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
