Soup is good food. Mexican Beef Rice Soup is so simple to throw together, and it smells and tastes so fresh any time of the year.
The first thing Chris said about this soup was how well the flavors blended! He likes to play food critic, but he was right on about this soup.
The funny thing is, as beautifully as the flavors blend, which they do, I had nothing to do with it. Those flavors come pre-blended and balanced thanks to simply using salsa and RoTel. But what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him, so I just said “Thanks”!
Tips and Trick:
- This soup is good as soon as it’s made but allow it to sit and the flavors only deepen. So perfect to make ahead and put in the crockpot for supper, simmering all day only makes it better.
- Perfect for leftover rice. Make extra while preparing dinner one night or while meal prepping make a bunch and freeze in desired quantities. Cooked rice freezes great.
- Toppings freshen up this soup even more – sour cream, fresh cilantro, avocados
