Quick and straightforward
This soup saves me on busy days. One pot, some fresh stuff, and dinner practically makes itself. It's just what you need when time's tight but you still want something tasty.
Smart meal prep
I love how this soup keeps so well. It stays good in the fridge for days, and I often freeze portions too. That way I've always got a warm meal ready when life gets hectic.
Tastes like home
Every spoonful brings memories flooding back. The hearty flavor, the warming aromas—exactly what you crave when your soul needs comfort food. A true feel-good meal.
My favorite tricks
A bit of smoked paprika makes the flavor pop even more. I like adding a squeeze of lemon just before serving. And my secret weapon? A dollop of sour cream on top makes everything wonderfully creamy.

What I serve alongside
A chunk of crispy baguette just belongs with this soup for me. Sometimes I'll make a fresh salad or stuff the soup into wraps. There are endless ways to enjoy it. This soup works with so many things.
Good for any occasion
This soup isn't just for weeknights—it also impresses guests. It warms you from inside on cold days, and when friends drop by unexpectedly, you can get it ready fast.
Nutritious and tasty
With colorful peppers, carrots and tomatoes, this soup packs loads of good vitamins. The meat adds protein, while rice keeps you full longer. It's a well-rounded dish that's good for your body and soul.
Leftovers transformed
I love turning leftover soup into pasta sauce. Just add a few extra spices and I've created something totally new. That's the fun way to use up extras.
My personal twists
Sometimes I swap rice for quinoa or couscous, giving the soup a modern feel. Zucchini and corn work great in it too. It tastes a little different each time I make it.
A bowl that brings joy
This soup means more than just a meal to me. It's my comfort food that combines classic flavors with modern simplicity. It's become a dish I can't imagine living without.
Full of memories
I connect so many wonderful moments with this soup. From cozy evenings for two to lively family meals. It's been part of countless stories and always tastes like coming home.
The whole family enjoys it
My kids love the mild seasoning, and the soft texture makes it easy to eat. Add some crunchy breadsticks or crackers and it becomes the little ones' favorite meal. A dish that makes everyone happy.

Mindful shopping
I prefer buying veggies from local farmers for my soup. Fresh peppers and tomatoes from nearby not only taste better but are better for the environment too. That just feels right.
Around the world
I love changing up the spices—sometimes adding cumin and chili for Mexican vibes. With basil and oregano, it goes Italian. The soup can travel through global cuisines this way.
Always a smart choice
On crazy busy days, it's comforting knowing a portion waits in the freezer. Just thaw, heat, and you've got the perfect meal. Sometimes the simple things really are the best.
For special gatherings
This soup shines beyond everyday meals. At family get-togethers or potlucks, it's the star of the table. Everyone loves getting a bowl of this warming goodness.
Toppings make it special
Shredded cheese, homemade croutons, fresh herbs—sometimes I treat the soup to these extra crowns. Those little extras turn a simple soup into something really special.
A touch of luxury
With a spoon of crème fraîche or a drop of truffle oil, everyday soup becomes fancy dinner. These small upgrades make it perfect for romantic evenings or special events.
Keeping it fresh
I store the soup in airtight containers—it lasts three days in the fridge. Frozen in portions, it becomes my emergency meal for busy days. Both practical and delicious.
Adaptable and quick
The best thing about this dish is how flexible it is. More or less liquid, different veggies, various spices—anything works. The soup just adapts to whatever you've got.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Lässt sich das Gericht einfrieren?
Klar, einfach abkühlen lassen und dann einfrieren. Beim Aufwärmen gern mit etwas frischer Brühe strecken, falls nötig.
- → Welche Reissorte eignet sich?
Rundkorn- oder Langkornreis klappt wunderbar. Nimm aber keinen Risotto- oder Milchreis, die sind zu weich.
- → Geht das Ganze auch vegetarisch?
Natürlich! Tausche das Hack gegen vegetarisches oder Soja aus. Dann aber Gemüsebrühe nehmen.
- → Was kann ich tun, wenn es zu dickflüssig wird?
Da der Reis noch Flüssigkeit zieht, kipp einfach mehr Brühe oder ein bisschen Wasser nach, bis es wieder passt.
- → Womit kann ich das servieren?
Einfach so löffeln oder mit einem Stück knusprigem Brot genießen. Das macht richtig satt.
