Easy Brown Rice and Vegetable Soup

[iluvsoup]

Thanks so much, Mary for another great soup recipe.  Can't wait to make it!

This soup inspired me to try lots of different crockpot recipes with the dark brown rice and chicken broth as a base....pretty much whatever I have thrown in there (usually always a chopped onion and minced garlic clove).  My family loves it.  Start it early morning with chicken for lunch or later without for dinner....super easy, inexpensive and very yummy:-)

Thanks Mary!

Blessings,
Julie

Now Mary...have you ever tried Sauerkraut this way---> 1 can sauerkraut thoroughly drained (squeeze w/ lid to can and remove ALL juice you can)
Put in a fry pan w/ a little margerine
Cook on low until lightly browned

This removes much of the sogginess and the sour vinegar taste. You may just like it. This is about the ONLY way I like it, and the only way my grandmother loved it!!

Hi Mary,
  I am with you on the sour kraut.  My mom has made it all ways and I do occasionally cook it for my hubby....but I think it is one of the most vile foods on earth. I have had store bought kraut , I have even sliced the cabbage and made kraut.....still nasty.With so many good foods I am glad I do not need to ever eat kraut.
        oh well ...enough spouting off
                      have a great day...........it is snowing here.....have about 18 inches on ground.....say 6 to 12 more today......soup day!!!

Oh, I wish we had some snow here in KY.  I grew up in No. Illinois and I LOVE snow.  We had a smidge about three weeks ago, but that's all.  We're getting lots of rain as I type this, though.

I tried the recipe as Mary had originally posted it this weekend and absolutely loved it.  And, I loved how simple it was to make.  Thanks Mary!

Help---little Mary or others in the know.....where does one find the "really dark" brown rice?  I have been looking in grocery stores with no luck?
TIA,
Sweetcheeks

  thanks, Mary.  I love cauliflower and convert it into a recipe for my "mashed" potatoes.  It's wonderful!  But will this hold up in the soup?....

I am a bean hater, but this recipe sounds so easy.  I think I am going to substitute the Northern Beans and put in a can of green beans; I am new to LDL so I hope this is alright?

Mary, I have never heard of dark brown rice. Went to Whole Foods today and brought a brand name Lundberg Wehani Gourmet Aromatic  Whole Grain Brown Rice.  It was the darkest brown rice they had. Is this brand okay. I noticed that alot of the recipes call for dark brown rice.
Or do you mean wild rice?

Thanks,
Cheryl Lynne
