• 1/4 cup uncooked rice
• 3 cup water
• 3 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. basil
• 1/4 tsp. thyme
• 1 bay leaf

Directions

Brown the ground beef and onion in a small amount of cooking oil. When lightly browned, drain off excess fat. Combine with the remaining ingredients in a large kettle. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. This is a delicious quick vegetable soup. Since it freezes nicely, it is a fine recipe to make in quantity and freeze for future meals. Very good to have on hand for emergencies.
