(Note:This soup is great on a cold day and is sometimes served over white rice for a more filling meal. I suggest using brown rice in a rice cooker w/o salt or oil since this recipe contains a lot of sodium. I've also seen a variety of this salami soup with beens such as chick peas and with other vegetables, like squash. Sazon has also been used but, it you're not using items with MSG do not add, I used the cilantro instead for flavoring.)
