Cook s...Boyfriend's Mom's Tomato Rice Soup<br /><br />Cook some rice, whatever you prefer. I use brown rice - 2/3 cup dry is about the right amount. I also used that interesting black rice once - it made an equally interesting dark soup that was very tasty.<br /><br />large onion, diced<br />celery optional<br />a couple of cloves of garlic<br />finely sliced carrots - or you can grate them<br /><br />(Even better with plenty of sliced mushrooms.)<br /><br />Saute this in a little olive oil until the onion is soft and the carrots are on their way - add the mushrooms towards the end. Add a large can of tomatoes with italian seasoning. (I blend these unless I'm in a hurry.) Add at least 3/4 tsp oregano and 1-1/2 tsp basil and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add a box of Swanson's chicken stock (quart), bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are where you want them them. Add the cooked rice and season with salt (about a teaspoon) and pepper.<br /><br />If you let this sit for a while it gets thick and hearty :)<br /><br />If you replace the rice with some kind of noodle - broken lasagne noodles work - and thrown in a can of black beans and a little cooked broccoli - voila, you have minestrone. <br /><br />Based on a tomato soup recipe from the original Laurel's Kitchen.
