tomato n rice soup

- in a medium large sauce pan add..

2 cans tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes chopped up 
1 can water
1/4 cup rice (1/2 cup may be better)
4 tbl sugar
light dusting cayenne pepper 
possibly some coriander powder
1 tsp chili powder. Went from horse hooves to tomato soup. 2? maybe too much.

- simmer 'till the rice is cooked.

Add can of milk. Heat back to simmer.

NOTES : When I say can I mean the standard 15oz can.

Tried 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Mistake.

Sweet pickle juice, not right either.

Couple pinches of rosemary ground between fingers overwhelmed the flavor. Sage seems good, but by now its turning to flavor-brown.

Try #2

used 1/2 cup rice - how about 1/3 cup?
1 1/2 tsp chili powder - good
no pickle juice
no garlic
couple shakes of sage
couple shakes  coriander.

Very well received. They ate it all.
