Tomato Soup with Rice

Autumn has definitely arrived. During these long, cold evenings we will be often looking for comfort in food. Warm, rich soup are perfect for this time of the year.
The tomato soup is my favorite one! Especially when colder days arrive I feel I could have it every day!
My mum makes it with an aromatic chicken broth and serves it with rice and a drop of cream. And I would love to share this recipe with you.
