"I threw this together with stuff in my fridge, and it turned out great so I'm posting so I am posting it so I can make it again later :-) Quick, simple, and delicious. To make it thicker add more rice, or mash up the potatoes a little before serving. Feeds 4."

This is a great soup! Made exactly as directed except I used brown rice, cause that was all I had!!<br/>I think it could use a bit more broth but the flavor is fantastic. I will definitely make this again! Made for ZWT7 and the Saucy Silverado's.
