Steps

1

melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. saute onions in the butter until tender and lightly browned, about 10min
2

add the tomatoes and continue cooking for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently. sometimes I have really lazy days and dont feel like peeling and cutting the tomatoes if your having a day like that sometimes I use two 800mL cans of diced tomatoes.
3

add the potato and 3 cups of water.
4

season with the bay leaf, garlic, salt and Vegeta. bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered for about 15-20min.
5

stir in the remaining water and bring to a boil again. discard bay leaf. you may strain the solids and puree the vegetables in food processor or blender and stir them back or you may just leave as it is depending on how you like your soup.
6

add the rice cover and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender. serve hot and with shredded mozzarella cheese on top
