Red Rice Soup with Beef

4 servings

70 minutes

Red rice soup with beef is a hearty and aromatic dish inspired by European traditions but with Eastern notes. Red rice, known for its nutty flavor and rich color, gives the soup a unique texture and benefits. Tender beef cooked to softness creates the base of a deep, rich broth. Onions, garlic, and carrots sautéed to a golden hue add light sweetness and richness, while tomatoes bring a slight tanginess. The perfect blend of spices enhances the flavor of each ingredient, and herbs add freshness. This soup is ideal for cold evenings, warming with its rich aroma and flavor and is also a great option for a nutritious home lunch.
