Green Pepper and Tomato Soup

This is a good end-of-summer soup. It calls for those wrinkled tomatoes left to ripen -- possibly a bit too long. It is a clear-brothed slightly chunky soup, with onions and green bell pepper. The broth has good depth of flavor from ample garlic, paprika, basil, thyme, and paprika. At the end, cooked white rice was mixed in to provide a bit more substance.

Although I liked this soup quite a bit, it reminded me that green bell peppers are not my favorite.
