Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 c water
1/2 c brown rice, raw
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
2 clove garlic minced
8 oz shitake mushrooms sliced
6 c stock, vegetable or chicken
1/2 tsp rosemary, dried
1 can(s) chick peas
10 oz spinach, fresh
salt and pepper
2 oz parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a rapid boil. Stir in brown rice and return to a boil; reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth and rosemary; bring to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
  • 3. Stir rice and chickpeas into broth mixture; return to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and continue cooking 5 minutes more to allow flavors to blend.
  • 4. Stir in spinach and cook, uncovered, until just wilted, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste, and season with pepper. Serve immediately, sprinkled with grated Parmesan and drizzled with more oil.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll reduce the amount of broth next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of chickpeas, but I still enjoyed this soup. The spinach and spices really shine through.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this soup changed my mind. The spinach is cooked perfectly and the chickpeas add a nice bite.
