Fresh basil adds such a nice flavor to this soup. Any aromatic rice, such as basmati or jasmine, can be used for the regular long-grain rice.


   2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
   2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
   2 medium stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
   1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
   1 medium carrot, chopped (1/2 cup)
   1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
   3/4 cup uncooked regular long grain rice
   2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
   4 cups chicken broth
   1 cup water
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/4 teaspoon pepper
   1/4 cup grated Romano cheese


1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Cover and cook garlic, celery, onion, carrot and basil in oil 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in rice and tomatoes. Cook uncovered over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
