Asparagus And Brown Rice Soup Recipe - Cooking Index
This piquant, chunky, and low-calorie soup looks festive and is nicely filling as a lunch, served with bread and followed by a piece of fruit. The recipe was contributed by a Floridian I know only as Roz, but who has been a great supporter of this site as well as a brainstormer on soup techniques. Roz thinks the recipe orginally came from an article about Oprah Winfrey, but she suggests blending the soup for a finer texture. Thanks, Roz!
