- Rinse the rice and pour it into boiling tomato broth. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes on low heat.
- Pour the mussels, thawed in advance. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- And while the soup is cooking, you can cook quick kebabs from mussels for serving and refinement, although the soup is so delicious. Mix lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil for the marinade, season with freshly ground black pepper and mix.
- Marinate the mussels for 15 minutes. You can marinate a little longer before cooking the soup.
