When it;s cooked through, add 3 cups of finely chopped spinach and fry for another minute or so. Puree the tomotoes then add them along with the chicken broth, water, and rice. You can add a little fresh lemon juice and some fresh chopped basil to taste. Simmer just until the rice is done - take care to not overcook as this will make the rice mushy. To increase the fibre content, you can use brown rice instead of the Jasmine. Makes 10 - 1 cup servings

Loved this recipe! Have made it several times. I usually use normal Italian Wedding soup pasta instead of the rice. - 1/3/12
