Rice and Tomatoes

Pour the beef broth into a medium saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Add the butter or margarine to the broth and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated.

Peel and finely dice the medium onion, then add it to the broth along with the salt and seasoned pepper.

Stir in the uncooked rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the broth.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and allow the soup to simmer gently until the rice is tender and has absorbed the savory flavors of the broth.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and seasoned pepper as needed.

Ladle the consommé into warm bowls and serve immediately, ensuring each portion contains a balanced amount of rice and clear amber broth.
