Test Kitchen tips
  • The arborio rice cooks up tender with a texture that is smoother than long grain rice.
  • A combination of fresh and frozen veggies make this soup easy to throw together. The pieces of broccoli and cauliflower are large, but cut easily with your spoon if you find them to be too big.

    • Health Tip: Neutral flavor and tender skin make white beans a versatile addition to any soup or stew. They add almost 4 grams of fiber per serving in this recipe. If you want to cut sodium, use reduced-sodium broth.
