A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
Soothing to a sore mouth, this creamy soup can really bring comfort. If the larger pieces of veggies are difficult to swallow, try pureeing the cooked veggies in the blender or food processor to smooth out the texture of the soup.

"Soup is a comfort food, and since the whole family loves it, we eat soup often at our house. This is one of my favorite recipes because I can use whatever combination of vegetables I want, and if I cook the rice ahead of time, it comes together in just a few minutes." -MARY W.
