Marcia Smit VanDyken Recipe ∼ Creamy Spanish Rice Soup

This recipe is made from ingredients I had on hand when my husband requested soup. I started with Spanish rice mix and went from there. He loved it! I served it with cheese bread.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
• 1 (14 ounce) can condensed beef broth
• 3 ½ cups water
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can tomato soup
• 1 box Spanish rice mix (such as Old El Paso®)
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• ½ cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese, or more to taste
• 1 (10 ounce) bag tortilla chips

Cooking Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, green bell pepper, and onion in the hot oil, breaking the sausage into small pieces, until sausage is browned, about 10 minutes.
2. Stir diced tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, water, tomato soup, and Spanish rice mix into sausage mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir cream cheese into soup until cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve garnished with Colby-Jack cheese and a handful of tortilla chips.
