Yield: 1 pot of soup

Ingredients

  1. 6 cups water
  2. 1 cup rice, rinsed and drained
  3. 2 tomatoes
  4. ½ onion
  5. 2 cloves garlic
  6. 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  7. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  8. 1 pinch salt to taste
  9. 5 tablespoons grated Mexican Cotija cheese
  10. 2 sprigs parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add rice, reduce heat to low, and cover with a lid. Simmer until rice is nearly tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes and roast until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skin and transfer to a blender. Add onion, garlic, and bouillon. Process tomato mixture until smooth.
  3. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour tomato mixture into hot oil; cook and stir until flavors incorporate, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to the saucepan with the rice. Season with salt and cover with a lid. Continue cooking over low heat until rice is soft, 7 to 10 minutes more. Remove from heat. Sprinkle Cotija cheese and parsley on top, cover with a lid, and let sit 10 minutes before serving.
