This hearty tomato and rice soup is an easy and budget-friendly dinner idea! With just a few pantry staples, this recipe comes together quickly.
This tomato and rice soup is super filling and packed with healthy ingredients. It sticks to your ribs a little more than a bowl of standard tomato soup, but it doesn’t require any crazy ingredients. I kept it super simple with just pantry staples but if you want to take it to the next level, I recommend blending in a few ounces of cream cheese or adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
How to Make Tomato and Rice Soup
I’ve made lots of variations of tomato soup over the past year or two, but the addition of brown rice takes it from a side dish to the main dish. This is also a very economical soup as all of the ingredients are quite inexpensive. If you’re making a large batch for a group and you’re on a budget, try this one out.
Just a few pantry staples can be transformed into delicious tomato soup while your rice cooks at the same time.

This looks good! I’ve been making the tomatoe soup you posted from Peas and Carrots several weeks ago and it’s SO good. I’ve made it no less than 3 times in the past month. It actually comes out a little chunky because I only have a blender, but I like it that way because it’s like I am eating something vs. drinking something.
This sounds delicious!! One of my favorite meals on a cold snowy (or in Virginia’s case, freezing rainy) day is tomato soup and grilled cheese. I love the addition of the rice though, definitely much more hearty! I may have to make this one when the hubby is out of town or something, because he is super anti-tomato (which makes tomato soup kind of a no-go)!
Ooh I happen to have all of these ingredients in my house! I love all kinds of soup, but I like the broth-based soups the best. Husband likes chunky though!
um.. yum! the high in minneapolis is -1 today, so soup is a making a daily rotation in our kitchen this week. definitely checking out some of your other soup recipes too 🙂
Totally depends on the soup! But I love the tomato and rice combo. I used to always add rice to my tomato soup when I was younger…and a whole lot of cheese!

Yes!!!! That recipe is soooo good (especially with the mozzarella balls) and I like to keep it pretty chunky, too!

Yes, I also like this soup, but i put there a little bit sugar…
I like chunky and pureed. I don’t discriminate when it comes to soup, ha! Soup is a daily thing since the weather outside is soooo cold.

Brrr sounds like you’ll need something to keep you warm! 🙂
I love tomato soup. I brought some Thai Coconut Tomato soup to work today. It’s a boxed variety, so I’m going to check out your recipe!
This looks so good. I’m all for chunk vs. puree. I can’t imagine Alex getting sick of soup if you’re serving recipes like this =)

Mmm I was thinking about topping this with mozzarella cheese! I’ll have to try it next time 😉
YUm!!! This looks so comforting and good right now!
