Bring to a boil, and turn heat to medium low, and let simmer for two hours.   After the two hours, stir the soup, and taste to make sure soup is well seasoned.  If needed, add a little more salt, Cumin, or Taco Seasoning for desired taste.  Add the Rice, and cook 15 more minutes, or until Rice is done.  Serve topped with Cheese, and chopped Cilantro, and Tortilla chips on the side.  Enjoy!
Makes 6 to 8 servings

NOTE:  I used SUCCESS RICE, because it cooks quickly.  It comes in little pre-measured pouches, so to use it in the soup, simply cut the pouches open, and measure 1 1/2 cups to add to the soup, and discard the pouches.
