Step 4: Stir in the Rice
Add the cooked rice to the soup. Stir to combine and continue simmering for another 5 minutes. The rice absorbs some of the soup’s flavor, making each bite hearty and satisfying.
Tip: For a lower-carb version, you can substitute rice with cauliflower rice or skip it entirely.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve hot with crusty bread or a simple side salad.
