Donna's soup (the recipe)

I think my husbands American Mam Donna won't mind that I share her Orzo Corn Soup recipe with you. I made some slight changes as I can't get any Orzo here where I live. You can easily replace it with brown rice.

Here we go:
1.5tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
vegetable stock. I use veggie stock cubes and 1.5ltr water
2 chopped onions
4  garlic cloves chopped (I love garlic, but of course you can use less)
150 gr brown rice
1 tbsp oregano
2 tins chopped tomatoes
250 gram corn kernels
salt
1 tbsp basil
pepper

Sauté the onions in the oil till tender and than ad all the rest of the ingredients. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15minutes (or more depending on the rice)
I easily forget the soup and it might simmer for half an hour :-)

This really is a very filling soup. Make it in big quantities and put it in the freezer. Enjoy.
