Rice Soup is a good way to use up leftover Cooked Rice, particularly when the Cooked Rice is cold and hard. Today I used canned diced Tomatoes, but if you have the harvest from your garden, please use fresh ripe Tomatoes, and the soup will be beautiful. You can add the Cooked Rice to any soup, but please be aware that the Rice sucks up the liquid quite quickly, and the Rice Soup can turn into Sloppy Rice that looks like Risotto. You should enjoy the soup immediately. However, I actually like the Rice Soup that turned into the Sloppy Rice.
