Spanish Rice Soup

WITH THE SIMPLE INGREDIENTS AND HAVING EVERYTHING ON HAND, THIS RECIPE TURNED OUT NOT AS GOOD AS I HAD HOPED............WILL NOT MAKE AGAIN. MY FAMILY DIDN'T CARE FOR IT AT ALL.

excellent. Used hamburger, and chili-style tomatoes. Secret ingredient? Add a packet of Ranch dressing powder. Amazing and so quick!

This is an interesting tasting soup that is VERY quick and easy to make. I followed the recommendation of another reviewer and substituted worshteshire for hot sauce. The worshteshire 'enhances' the flavor and gives the soup more depth. Also, I used 1/2 hamburger and 1/2 ground pork as too much beef sometimes upset my stomach.

I was surprised at how great this soup turned out. Instead of using tomato sauce I used Picante sauce and added an extra clove of garlic. It was spicy and my family loved it!

Good soup. Very easy to make. Was a tiny bit bland for my taste so I added extra garlic, some cumin, some cilantro and a little salt. I also added a cup of frozen corn for color. Served with corn bread muffins. Also nice garnished with a sprinkle of cheese, dallop of sour cream and a cillantro leaf.

This recipe looked so easy and so I decided to give it a try. I don't think I had the right Spanish-style rice mix (maybe I'll try rice-a-roni) next time. I used Uncle Ben's Spanish Style ready rice, and it wasn't seasoned that much. Then instead of using the Mexican-style stewed tomatoes I used fire roasted diced tomatoes that I had on hand. I decided to taste it and it was a bit bland. I decided to add 1 tea. black pepper, and 1/2 tea. cumin, and 1/2 cup Pace Medium Picante Sauce. This is a great start for a soup, but next time I think I am going to add some more ingredients like maybe some green chili or jalapeno's. I may even try what some of the other reviewers added. Thanks for the easy making starter soup!

I'm vegetarian so I made a meat free version of this. I'v made it with fake spiced vegie meat and without meat using sunflower seeds. My meateating family even loved it. I did add some more mexican spices and jalapeno peppers to give it some zing.

Sometimes the recipes with the simple ingredients are the best and this is one of those. I love to cook but sometimes a quick meal is so nice! My husband picked this out and its a keeper!

This was delicious and a great way to use leftover brown rice, a quart of tomato juice, and a pound of ground turkey that I had on hand. The quart of tomato juice was substituted for all the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water. I added a rib of celery finely chopped and probably a tablespoon of cumin. Cumin makes this dish delicious -- it reminded us both of the flavor of a Taco Bell burrito.

I made this for an office carry in everyone loved it Even the family loved it the only thing I did was lessen the onion amount great as dip for chips too

Made this on a chilly fall day with leftover turkey drumstick from Allrecipes spiced it with lime chili powder, cilantra and mixed pepper spice.

Very good yet simple. I did add some cumin, and my husband absolutely loved it. He ate most of it by himself. I will definitely be making this again and soon.

Easy and yummy.

Loved the ease in this but it lacks in flavor. I ended up adding cumin and that helped but it still needed something. Pay attention the ounces in the rice packet this calls for. It is def referring to Rice-A-Roni. This was extremely tomato/acid forward and the stewed tomatoes were huge in the soup. Crushed would be a better choice. Also, texture this is good right off the stove but if you let it set for even 10 minutes it is extremely thick. Leftovers in the fridge even thicker with no soup consistency left. Last note is that ground turkey wouldn't be my choice of meat next time. Chicken would make more sense and beef even better. I will make this again but it needs some tweaks.
