This soup was quick and easy. Since I was using up the wilting contents of my CSA box, I added carrots, onions, celery and Swiss chard. This really amped up the flavor and hardiness. Lastly, a splash of Balsamic vinegar was the finishing touch. I would make this soup as is again, but it's great as a base for other variations. I can see adding a handful of pasta (or leftover farro or barley) instead of rice.
