Would love to try this! The blurb mentions veggies but there aren't any listed on the ingredient list…just add what you like?
Amar, Yes…just add whatever veggies you like. 🙂 I love adding diced carrots.
Yes, you can really add the veggies that you like at the beginning of cooktime, with the exception of spinach or other greens which should be added only in the last ten minutes of cooktime.
I love this soup! The first time I made it I did get mush but the flavor was awesome! I reread the recipe and it says to cook until the rice is tender, and that worked perfect! So yummy, feels decadent.
Just made this today on a cold rainy day. Loved it!!!
