\"Hearty<\/p>\n

This is the third recipe I\u2019m sharing as an ambassador for Chicken of the Sea<\/a> and Minute Rice<\/a> leading up to National Salmon Day on October 8th! <\/em><\/p>\n

When I think of making meals on-the-fly, I never think of soup. A warming, hearty soup is one of those things that immediately brings to mind an\u00a0image of a pot on the stove that\u2019s been slowly simmering aalll daaay loong<\/em>. Great tasting, yes, and certainly great in theory<\/em>, but in practice<\/em>? Ehh…not on a weeknight. That\u2019s why soup has always felt like a weekend meal to me.<\/p>\n

\"Hearty<\/p>\n

But what if you don\u2019t want to wait for the weekend? Or you just don\u2019t have hours to cook a soup low and slow?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Lately I\u2019ve been traveling a bunch\u2014<\/span>first to Seattle, then Indiana, and now Massachusetts\u2014<\/span>and somewhere in there, I picked up a cold. I craved a hot, hearty bowl of soup more than ever. But I couldn\u2019t take all day to make it.<\/p>\n

So I made this one: Hearty Salmon and Wild Rice Soup in a Hurry<\/p>\n

\"Hearty<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, it takes 30 minutes to make\u2014but you can certainly simmer it for longer if you want.<\/p>\n

The reason this soup is so quick is because it uses such convenient ingredients. Even the fresh vegetables are simple (yet nourishing), and convenient, since they\u2019re the ones I almost always have on hand: onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and broccoli. I like maintaining a base of onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, for flavor, but you can swap the broccoli for other veggies, like cauliflower, zucchini, etc.<\/p>\n

To make it\u00a0in no time, saute the sturdier veggies (save the broccoli for the end) in olive oil, add a can of diced tomatoes, juice and all, low-sodium chicken broth, dried oregano and basil, fresh ground black pepper, and bring the pot to a boil.<\/p>\n

\"Hearty<\/p>\n

Next, add the key ingredients: 2 cups of Minute\u00ae Ready to Serve Brown and Wild Rice<\/a> and 2 EZ-Open cans Chicken of the Sea\u00ae Pink Salmon<\/a>. These are really what make the soup so hearty, textured, and filling. They also pack the soup with fiber and protein–something that\u2019s not always easy to do in such a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

The Minute Ready to Serve Brown and Wild Rice cups<\/a> don\u2019t need any pre-cooking; they grains will plump right up in the simmering broth. And with the new lids on the EZ-Open cans of salmon<\/a>, you\u00a0can peel back the top, drain the salmon, and flake it into the pot. No can opener necessary.
\nIn the final minutes, toss in\u00a0the broccoli florets just so that they have a chance to soften but not turn too soggy. And last but not least, stir in a handful of fresh basil for flavor. It\u2019s especially lovely with the chunky tomato broth. Serve a bowlful with\u00a0grated Parmesan cheese and pat yourself on the back: you made a darn good soup in 30 minutes :)<\/p>\n
