My darling friend, Jennifer, was at my home the other night and told me about a new soup concoction she came up with that started with a box of roasted red pepper and tomato soup. The soup is delicious on its own but one night she worked her magic (she tweaks everything) and added a little pizazz to the soup. Pre-cooked chicken, canned black beans, and brown rice were tossed in and it was a hit. So, I did the same. (I subbed leftover Basmati rice for brown rice.) Sooo good and easy--one pot cooking!

So glad you tried it -- and liked it! The soup looks so pretty in your green Le Creuset.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteQuestions regarding the soup-----
1. did you cook the rice before adding it to the soup?
2. did you add anythingelse to pizazz it?
3. how long did you cook it together?

ReplyDeleteYes, the rice was cooked prior to adding to the soup. I usually have a stash of frozen, cooked rice in the freezer.
I didn't add anything but the pre-cooked, bottled chicken, the black beans and lots of freshly ground black pepper. So, time-wise, it was ready to go in about 20 min.
Just bought a new cookbook devoted to soups so more recipes to come!
