⭐ Tips
- For low-carb version, replace rice with cauliflower rice or omit entirely.
- You can also add tomato paste (2 tbsp) for richer flavor.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day!
- For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for the last 5–10 minutes.
If you want, I can also give a slow-cooker version so you can dump everything in the morning and have it ready by dinner.
Do you want me to do that?
