- This soup gets its porridge like consistency from short-grain Arborio rice.
- Because it thickens on standing, its best to serve it right away. Parmesan cheese is salty, so if you omit it you may need to add in more salt
- MEAL PLAN: While rice is simmering, toss up a big mixed green salad with sliced cucumbers and wedges of avocado and dress with a natural, low-fat balsamic vinaigrette. For an Italian-style dessert, serve almond biscotti.
- In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add in onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, till softened, about 7 min. Add in zucchini and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Pour in broth and 2 c. water. Stir in rice. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer till rice is tender, 18 to 20 min.
- Remove from heat and let stand 5 min; soup will thicken slightly. Stir in tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan if you like and serve.
