Polish Tomato Rice Soup (Pomidorowa Z Ryzem)
Polish tomato rice soup is a simple dish, easy to make and super versatile. It can be made using different methods, with or without meat. In this recipe I used grated vegetables as a base for the soup but the post also includes instructions for how to make it using meat as well as chicken soup as a base.
