2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups water with 2 vegetable bouillon cubes, or other stock option (page 9)
2/3 cup raw brown rice, rinsed
2 large celery stalks, diced
One 28-ounce can salt-free tomato puree

1
Heat the oil in a soup pot.

Add the onion and saute over medium heat until golden.

Add the water with bouillon cubes, rice, celery, tomato puree, bay leaves, and seasoning.
4
Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat.
5
Cover and simmer gently, covered, until the rice is just done, about 40 minutes.
6
Stir in the mushrooms and parsley and adjust the consistency with enough additional water to give the soup a thick but fluid consistency.

Simmer over low heat for another 15 minutes.
8
Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.
9
Discard the bay leaves.
10
If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or so.

13
Just before serving, steam the snow peas until bright green and tender-crisp.
14
After ladling the soup into bowls, garnish each serving with some snow peas.
