Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
- Heat up a tablespoon of olive oil in a big pot.
- Throw in the beef and sprinkle some salt and pepper on it.
- Keep stirring until the beef turns brown. Take it out of the pot and put it aside.
Step 2: Time for Veggies
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pot.
- Toss in the onion and peppers and cook ’em for a bit.
- Add the garlic last, cook for a little longer.
Step 3: Mix It All Together
- Dump in the tomatoes, sauce, and beef broth.
- Add the cooked beef and those yummy herbs.
- Turn up the heat until it starts to boil, then turn it down low. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Step 4: What About Rice?
- While the soup is doing its thing, cook the rice like it says on the package.
- When everything’s ready, mix the rice into the soup. Or, you can just add rice to each bowl if you want.
Step 5: Serve It Up
- Spoon the soup into bowls. If you want, add some cheese and a bit more parsley on top.
Notes
- If you like your soup to be more “soupy,” don’t put too much rice in.
- If you’re going to have leftovers, keep the rice separate so it doesn’t get all mushy.
