Hearty Vegetable and Rice Soup
Hearty Vegetable and Rice Soup. Chilly weather is moving in and there’s nothing better than having a bowl of soup to come home to. Hearty Vegetable and Rice Soup is loaded with chunky vegetables which provides a lot of flavor and fiber, keeping you feeling full longer. Similar to classic minestrone soup, only it’s loaded with lots of vegetables and contains some healthy carbs too.
This vegetable and rice soup is made with chopped celery, carrots, sweet potato, tomato, green beans, and corn. Then it’s simmered for 20 minutes with vegetable broth and cooked rice.
Very EASY!
Soup is the best food all year long, and it’s always a bowl of health!
Sometimes we need a short cut when cooking. So in this case, I tossed in some frozen corn and some leftover green beans and rice from the night before. Making this soup come together even easier.
Whether you have leftovers or not, using fresh veggies in soups is the best way to go.
This recipe is adaptable to any fresh vegetables you prefer.
