• 3. In a soup pot, combine sauteed vegetables, remaining broth and rice. Season with salt, thyme and pepper. NOTE: If you use the soup pan to saute the vegetables (step 1), you can just combine everyting in that one pot (and not dirty up another pan).
• 4. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley and grated parmesean cheese, if desired.
• 5. NOTE 1: TOMATOES: When using canned, diced tomatoes, don't use petite diced. I use Southern Home brand, which are more chunky. Also, just spoon the diced tomatoes out of the can and discard or save the juice for something else.
• 6. NOTE 2: I used 2 (4 cup; 32 oz size) cartons of vegetable stock. I actually used one of vegetable stock and one of vegetable broth. If you don't want it vegetarian, you can use chicken broth and/or stock.
