ZIPPY SPANISH RICE SOUP

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

Got an extra box of Spanish Rice in the pantry? This is a good way to use it up. I think I like this soup more than the spanish rice by itself. You could use more meat if you like or vary the water/beef bouillon content. You could substitute beef broth instead of the cubes too. I use the cubes because I always have them on hand.
