Equipo
Ingredientes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium potatoes , peeled and diced small
- 1 medium onion , small diced
- 2 medium carrots , shredded
- 2 ribs celery , halved crosswise
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 80 oz fl (10 cups) hot water (you can also use chicken stock; just make sure to adjust the chicken bouillon to taste)
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Knorr chicken bouillon (to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper (to taste)
- 200 g (1 cup) long-grain rice
Instrucciones
- In a deep pot or large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring with a basting spoon or wooden spoon. (Note: Potatoes may stick slightly to the bottom of the pan, but don't worry; they’ll take on added flavor as long as you don’t let them burn.)
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken bouillon and tomato paste and stir well.
- Pour in the hot water, add the bay leaves, and season with pepper.
- Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the rice and continue to cook for 12 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
- Remove and discard the celery and bay leaves.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before serving.

Notas
Storage: Cool leftovers completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Warm gently on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave. Add a splash of water or broth if the soup thickens.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the base (without the rice) up to 1 day in advance. Add and cook the rice just before serving to keep the best texture.
Freezing: Freeze cooled soup (without the rice, if possible) in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat. If frozen with rice, note that the rice may soften more, but it will still be delicious.
