Comments
We made this soup today. There seems to be way too much liquid for the amount of ingredients. We had to end up doubling the rice and vegetables to make it less watery. It’s also very bland, even after we added garlic, bay leaf more pepper and some lemon zest.
This is a nice, quick and flexible recipe. I've made it with instant brown rice and also added cooked whole grains that were stored in the freezer.
