As they say in the Campbell's soup ads, this is a soup that eats like a

meal. If you're not an okra fan, this soup taste's great even without it.

 

1. In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the

onions, celery, and bell peppers; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3

minutes. Stir in chili powder until absorbed. Add the tomatoes; cook,

stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the broth, water, bay

leaves, oregano, Tabasco, basil, and thyme; bring to a boil.

 

2. Add rice. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Stir in okra

and salt; return to a boil. Reduce beat and simmer 10 minutes longer or

until okra is tender. Discard bay leaves.
