    Rice Cooker Hearty Tomato Soup | 5DollarDinners.com

    What’s this about a rice cooker? Turns out, it works a bit like a slow cooker. Only a little faster. It uses less energy than cooking on a stove. And, for me, seems to make less of a mess.

    Try it sometime. Like with this soup.

    Tomato soup and grilled cheese are about as American as apple pie, right? And tomato soup seems like one of the standard things to come in to from the cold. This is why I wanted to make a hearty soup with filling fiber and protein so it warms you on the inside even longer.

    I added the butter because I miss the fat in the cream! It’s optional of course.

    My mother said it was better than canned soup because with the heartier texture comes more flavor. It’s nice when your mother compliments your cooking.
