Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 2 ribs celery finely diced
- 1 small carrot finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- ⅓ cup instant rice
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and cook until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the broth, crushed tomatoes, rice, dried basil, salt, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook uncovered until the rice and vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender or hand blender to blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream and simmer for 3 minutes more. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar if needed.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes
- For a thinner soup, add additional broth. For a thicker soup, cook uncovered for longer until thickened.To replace instant rice use ¼ cup of white rice and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until tender.
- This recipe makes about 8 cups of soup.
- Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 days.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, the soup can be blended in a regular blender in batches. When using a regular blender, be sure not to seal the lid or the steam can build up causing it to burst open. Leave the lid open just enough to allow steam to escape.
