You can use deli or canned tomato soup or make your own using the recipe below.

In the morning place 1 bag sun-dried tomatoes and enough filtered water to just cover the tomatoes in a blender jar. Refrigerate. If you’re using deli or canned soup you can skip this step.

Thirty to sixty minutes before serving remove the blender jar from the refrigerator and puree until smooth. (If using deli or canned tomato soup pour 1/2 of it into the blender container and proceed with the recipe.) Add one & 1/2 cups Tomato Onion Rice (or any leftover cooked brown or wild rice) and 1 drained jar roasted red bell pepper; continue pureeing. Add vegetable broth if needed to puree. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan adding the one & 1/2 cups Tomato Onion Rice (or any leftover cooked brown or wild rice) and 2 to 4 cups vegetable broth or the remainder of the deli/canned soup; heat over medium heat until hot, but do not boil.

Optional additions:

  • Tex-Mex: corn, green chilies, garnish with corn chips
  • Mediteranean: pesto, garnish with finely diced raw red bell pepper and/or chopped olives

Too Busy To Cook? Imagine’s Soups Will Save the Day

I love Imagine brands boxed soups. They taste so fresh, they have tons of varieties & you can add anything you might have in your fridge, pantry or freezer to change them up. Frankly I’ve been to restaurants that would have done better to chuck their soup recipe and used Imagine soup instead. I guarantee that their customers would not know they’re using boxed soup and the end product would be better than what they’re serving.

Here’s my dirty little secret – I haunt the aisles of health food stores looking for items on sale. Many of these items are disappointing but I can’t stand to throw them away, so I generally add them to one of Imagine’s boxed soups (which I have a pantry full of) and they have yet to disappoint me. It’s magic, how something that was ho-hum, when added to one of Imagine’s soups is suddenly escalated into the “can’t stop eating it” category.

I can’t say it any better than Imagine says it: “Imagine the finest, organic vegetables, lightly simmered with fresh herbs and delicious seasonings. Imagine no more … Imagine Organic Soups and Broths are available in more than twenty varieties and are packaged in re-sealable aseptic cartons to lock in their wholesome gourmet flavor.”
