Directions

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium high flame.
Add the onion and season with the salt and pepper.
Cook for 2 minutes and add the garlic.
Continue cooking until the garlic is aromatic, about 15-20 seconds.
Next add the celery, sun dried tomato, sherry and Basmati rice.
Cook, while stirring, for 3 minutes and then add the vegetable broth, sweet corn and Italian seasoning.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the peas, beans and carrots and continue simmering for an additional 15 minutes.
If your soup is a little too thick, simply add a little more "heated" broth. Remove from the heat and serve.
