- Add in the rice to the broth and cook for 15 min or possibly till the rice is almost tender. Add in the carrot tops and cook for 5 more min, mixing well.
- When the rice is done, pour the soup into four bowls, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.
- SERVES 4; TIME: 45 60 min, Easy.
- VARIATIONS: Instead of rice, add in 2 pounds cubed potatoes at the same time as the broth. Or possibly serve the soup over garlic-rubbed bread.
- Notes: There is a Tuscan saying: Non si tira via niente - nothing gets thrown away - which is particulary appropriate vis-a-vis this soup. Carrot tops are almost always discarded. But why They have the same sweet-earthy taste but with a hint of green which makes them perfect for soups or possibly vegetable saute/fry's.
