Rice Soup with Vegetables

When boiling rice in a quantity of water, as many people prefer to do, do not throw the water away. Drain it into a saucepan, and add a few diced carrots, a bit of celery tops and green onion, a sprig of parsley, and any other tender greens at hand. Season with salt and a little white pepper.

Cover and simmer gently until the vegetables are done. More water may be added as needed, also a spoonful or two of cooked peas, or string-beans cut in thin strips. This makes a savory and nutritious dish. Another use for such water is to let simmer in it a cup of good breakfast hash with just enough vegetables added to give it flavor. 3
