Morphology
The meaning 'containing a large amount of X' is directly and compositionally derived from 'rich' (abundant) combined with 'with' (accompanied by/containing), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This adjective + preposition pattern is cross-linguistically common and predictable (even if 'rich in' is more frequent), making the phrase readily understandable from its parts.
Etymology
Rich with paints a simple picture: something overflowing, like soil that is rich with plant food or a cake with lots of chocolate. So saying something is rich with a quality means it is 'full of' or very abundant in that thing.
