Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
Add the chopped green bell pepper and diced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the pepper softens slightly—avoid browning.
Step 3: Simmer the Soup
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Season with thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 30–45 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the flavors meld.
Step 4: Prepare the Rice
Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a separate saucepan. Add the rice, cover, and cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes
Step 5: Combine & Serve
Stir the cooked rice into the soup, heat through for a few minutes, and serve hot.
