Comfort food at it's best! Totally loved it, and it's so easy. To have a whole meal, I added some shredded cooked left over chicken and had it with some arugula salad. Great light dinner on a warm spring day. Thanks for sharing! Also I loved the story. Thanks so much for another wonderful chapter from the farm book :)<br/>Made for National Tomato Month in the Diabetic Forum.1Reply

This is good for a really quick soup to help me get over this cold!!! DD (toddler) enjoyed it as well. I didn't have a problem with the white Basmati rice which I used soaking up the broth but we ate ours right after cooked. Also 1/2 cup cooked means 1/4 cup dry I think! This makes a bit more than 2 servings but not enough for 3 in my opinion. I used unrefined extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground pepper in a little less amount, red Tabasco sauce in the amount called for plus I put more on top of mine (good to make this cold go away I think) I left out the croutons as we are gluten free, by mistake I read basil and didn't see the word fresh so I used dried and it was still fine. I would make this again for a quick soup but not really for DH since he doesn't like tomatoes. Made for Veggie Swap 31 ~ February 2011.1Reply
