Zippy Spanish Rice Soup image

I created this recipe after ruining a dinner of Spanish rice. I tried to salvage the dish by adding more water, cilantro and green chiles. It was a hit with the whole family. It's hearty enough to be a main meal with the addition of a garden salad and some corn bread.-Marilyn Schetz, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have some leftover rice in my fridge, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out bland and watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was still able to enjoy it. I think it would be great for people who like spicy food.
