Method
 

  1. In a large pot, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until beef is browned. Drain excess fat.

  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

  5. Stir in cooked rice just before serving.

Notes

Use green, red, or yellow bell peppers for variety. Substitute ground turkey for a lighter version. Add extra broth if the soup thickens too much after sitting.
