Tomato soup with rice is a simple sweet-and-sour soup made with tomato puree (passata) and tomato paste, thickened with a light butter roux. The rice is cooked separately and added to the soup at the end so it doesn't overcook. The soup is ready in about 40 minutes and works well for lunch or dinner.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cook the rice
15 min
Rinse the rice and cook in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Make the roux
8 min
Finely chop the onion and gently sauté it in the butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until light golden.
Cook the soup
15 min
Stir in the tomato paste, then pour in the tomato puree and water, whisking to prevent lumps. Add the sugar and salt and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Season and serve
Taste the soup and add more sugar or salt as needed, depending on the acidity of the tomatoes. Add the cooked rice, heat through, and serve.

Tip: The acidity of tomatoes varies from bottle to bottle, so add the sugar gradually, tasting as you go. For a smoother soup, blend it before adding the rice.
