Czech Tomato Soup with Rice

6 servings
Vegetarian Diet, Czech Simmering

This may be surprising to some, but Czechs’ also have their own version of tomato soup. The reason for this is quite simple-- tomatoes are very common and popular in the Czech Republic with many people growing their own. This tomato soup is a very popular dish served at home, but many Czechs also know it from cafeterias where it is often served.

In comparison to Italian tomato-basil soup, Czech tomato soup with rice has no basil and uses Allspice and bay leaves instead. In addition, cream is not usually incorporated and a little bit of sugar makes it slightly sweeter. The body of Czech soups are created with broth and the whole soup also has one interesting touch: the addition of boiled rice.

I believe that you will enjoy the differences of this soup and it will become very popular in your family. So, “Dobrou chuť!”

Ingredients:

* Optionally can be substituted with fresh and pureed tomatoes or canned diced tomatoes. Simply place fresh tomatoes into a blender and process until pureed. Pealing prior to puréeing is optional but not necessary because the blender will puree the tomato skin without any problem.

** This recipe assumes that you are working with a sodium free broth (a broth with no salt added). If you are working with a broth which includes sodium, adjust the amount of salt based on your preference.
