Brown Rice Vegetable Soup Recipes

CHICKEN AND BROWN RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot; cook chicken breasts in the boiling water until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken from the chicken broth using a slotted spoon and shred with a fork.
• Stir shredded chicken, celery, onion, carrots, corn, black beans, sage, pepper, salt, and bay leaves into the chicken broth and cook until vegetables are slightly softened and flavors of soup have blended, about 20 minutes. Add brown rice to soup and simmer until rice is tender, about 1 hour.

BROWN RICE & VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot combine water, broth, brown rice or barley, potatoes, carrots and celery.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile saute onions, mushrooms and garlic in olive oil.
• Add onion mixture, zucchini and seasoning to the soup.
• Continue to cook on medium-low for another 30 minutes until rice and vegetables are tender.

VEGETABLE BROWN RICE

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
• Add the rice and basil stirring well.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
• In a large non-stick skillet, stir-fry the carrots, onion, and green onions in hot oil for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned.
• Add peas and salt; cook for 1 minute or until vegetables are tender.
• Stir in pecans, raisins and rice; heat through.
• Please note: If serving as a main dish the serving size yield will be less.

CHUNKY VEGETABLE & BROWN RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and add the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, parsnips and thyme. Cover with a lid and cook gently for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and beginning to colour. Add the rice and pour in 1.2 litres cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Season the soup with plenty of ground black pepper and salt to taste, then stir in the leeks. Return to a gentle simmer and cook for a further 5 mins or until the leeks have softened. Adjust the seasoning to taste and blitz half the soup with a stick blender, leaving the other half chunky, if you like. Top with the parsley and serve in deep bowls.

LENTIL AND BROWN RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine broth, 3 cups water, lentils, rice, tomatoes with reserved juice, carrots, onion, celery, herbs and sausage and bring to boil (do not add parsley and vinegar).
• Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 45-55 minutes, or until lentils and rice are tender.
• Stir in parsley and vinegar and season to taste.
• Freezer Note: I often make up a double batch of this delicious soup, freezing half the batch, to provide me with a quick, nutritious dinner further on down the line when time is short and you don't want to resort to ordering in. Just defrost in microwave, reheat well and serve
