Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the large onion before adding it to the pot to enhance its sweetness. If you prefer a heartier soup, feel free to add chopped carrots or celery. You can also substitute the canned beans with fresh ones if available. For a gluten-free option, replace the rice with quinoa or a gluten-free grain. This recipe is reminiscent of other comforting American recipes like Unstuffed Pepper Soup.
