(Sopa de Porro y Arroz)
Category: Vegetable and Bean Soups
Leeks are available in many of the major public markets in Mexico. The small amount of rice gives a bit of body to this quick brothy and healthful soup.
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, washed and thinly sliced crosswise (about 2 cups)
2 cloves garlic (medium), finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and neatly diced, about 1/4 inch
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
4 cups canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or flat-leaf parsley
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the leeks, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook, covered, stirring frequently, until limp and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the vegetables and rice are tender, about 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Serve at once.
