Tips:

  • Toast your pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts before adding them to the soup will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will make the soup mushy.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: Adding the vegetables in stages will help to ensure that they are all cooked evenly. Start with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as carrots and potatoes, and then add the more delicate vegetables, such as peas and spinach, towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:
