Lisa’s Savory Rice Soup
.
Soup weather is coming upon us! Because you may also be in the midst of the busyness of getting back into your learning schedules, you may need some quick prep recipes. This week – and in our September newsletter – I want to share a couple super easy soup recipes that are Good for You-Naturally! Throughout this fall I’ll be sharing more of our family’s favorite soup recipes. These and many more will be available in Good for You-Naturally! Soups, an exclusive recipe book from Me and My House ministries.

Lisa’s Savory Rice Soup
2 c. long grain organic brown rice
3/4 – 1 gallon pure water
1/4 c. all natural veggie broth powder
1/2 c. dried, chopped celery (or 1 c. fresh)
1/4 c. dried onion flakes (or med. onion fresh)
2 Tbl. dried parsley flakes
1/4 c. dried tomato bits (or 1 can organic diced tomatoes, or 2 large fresh)
1/4 tsp. dried minced garlic (or 1 clove fresh minced)
1/2 tsp. dried crushed basil
1.5 tsp. unrefined salt (Real®, himalayan, celtic)
3 cups frozen peas
.
Simmer until rice is tender, about 1 hour.

Wondering why I have all the dry ingredients listed first, and my normally preferred fresh in parenthesis? This is an easy recipe to do as a mix, mixing all dry ingredients together ahead of time and storing in a jar. (Or do several batches ahead in several jars.) When you need a quick meal mix, just add the water and peas (and can of tomatoes, if you don’t have dried bits.)
.
Serve with homemade whole wheat bread and butter, and carrot and celery sticks.

Enjoy!
