You are familiar with this routine. We return home from work hungry and tired, and the last thing that we want to do is to start cooking and cutting vegetables, so we reach out to order a fast food delivery.
However, we often crave a delicious home-cooked dinner meal, and this simple and classic tomato soup with rice is the absolute winner for those lazy, quick dinner ideas that we can do in 20 minutes.

This is the easiest soup to prepare, and the result – no less than perfect! The Italian flavors warm the heart and stomach, and the rice gives you that boost of carbs you need.

Even though this quick and easy tomato rice soup is a simple recipe, it is so delicious. I don’t need to rush to the store to buy fresh tomatoes as this soup is just made from delicious staples that we all have in our pantry. I usually make it when the days are getting colder, upon return home from work. this is the time I crave something hot and satisfying.
