One-Pot Creamy Tomato Rice Soup is a hearty, comforting dish that combines rich marinara sauce with tender brown rice in a flavorful broth. Aromatics like onion and garlic build depth, while Italian seasoning enhances the classic tomato base. Fresh basil adds brightness at the end, and optional vegan cream makes it extra rich and velvety. This one-pot meal is filling, simple to prepare, and perfect for cozy lunches or dinners.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Sauté the onion:
Heat the avocado oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and salt, and sauté for about 10 minutes until it softens and caramelizes slightly (lower the heat if needed to prevent burning).
Add the seasonings:
Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
Simmer the soup:
Stir in the marinara sauce, rice, water, and the optional cherry tomatoes and vegan heavy cream (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
Finish and Serve!
Turn off the heat, stir in the freshly chopped basil, and ladle into bowls.
