  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Chef's knife
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 ounces
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add diced ham, onion, and bell peppers to the pot and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic, oregano, and basil, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Stir in cooked rice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Allow the soup to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider using smoked ham or adding a pinch of smoked paprika. Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed, especially as the soup cools slightly during resting, which can change the flavor profile. Enjoy with warm, crusty bread for a heartier meal.
