I love when the hubby comes up with his own little creations, Southwestern Soup. They are almost always so delicious. Haha, sorry babe, but we all have a few mess ups at some point. This one was definitely one of the good ones. I never knew I would love the rice in it, but it actually was so yummy!! I watched him make it too and it was really just a bunch of dumping things in which is exactly what makes soup so wonderful!
Can You Use Quinoa In Place Of Rice In Soup?
Quinoa is a great substitute for rice.
Quinoa cooks up great in soups, casseroles, and other dishes.
What Could You Use In Place Of Stewed Tomatoes?
You can use diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, or pureed tomatoes instead of stewed tomatoes.
Is Sweet Corn Nutritious?
Sweet corn is a whole grain, and it has plenty of nutrients.
Sweet corn is a good source of fiber and it contains protein and nearly 10% of recommended daily Vitamin C.

Haha, I never noticed that! I double checked my original recipe and you are right! Although it's called lime rice there isn't any actual lime in it! I took lime out of the name, but I bet you could squeeze half a lime in and it would be delicious. In fact I'll be doing that next time for sure!

{i posted this question on your previous post with all of the cafe rio recipes… so sorry to repeat!}
when do you add the lime to the cilantro lime rice? it's not on the ingredients list. do you just squeeze it on after it's cooked?
