Farmers Market Rustic Rice Soup
September 7, 2014 By: Kathy Steger37 Comments
This soup is a perfect transition recipe from summer to fall. It’s a combination of my favorite vegetables that are seasonally appropriate for this time of the year. It’s not heavy yet very satisfying. Although the cravings my favorite fall soups kicked in it hasn’t been cold enough to add them into regular dinner rotation. This time of the year I prefer the light clear broth based versions. I am happy to share that Briana loves school. All the anxiety we dealt with last week went away and now every morning we share excitement about what the day will bring. In addition to starting first grade she is now officially a taekwondo student and I’m looking forward to seeing how this adventure progresses. This soup is a great way to get extra vitamins into those little working back to school brains. Loaded with vegetables like kale, summer corn, carrots and peas it’s a nutrition powerhouse. Adding rice makes it super comforting. Eating vegetable soups is actually considered one of the best immunity and health boosters. Many vitamins and minerals are water soluble and a significant percentage of these nutrients can be lost through conventional cooking methods. When you cook a soup most nutrients and minerals are saved in the broth. I made a big batch and froze half of it. Stress free dinners are all about smart prep. I know we’ll be enjoying a bowl on one of these nights with garlic bread on the side and I won’t have to worry about dinner that night.
Have a great week everyone Farmers Market Rustic Rice Soup
