This recipe comes to us courtesy of Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks, a recipe journal. Here's what Heidi says about this recipe, featured on the cover of her book: "I like to serve it over brown rice. It's a great lunch recipe, and you can tweak it in many different ways depending on what you have on hand. Some days I enjoy it with poached eggs on top, other days I’ll add a couple handfuls of edamame and a drizzle of sesame oil. I mention in the book that you might try swapping out the peas for shelled fava beans, and tossing a bit of freshly grated Parmesan lemon zest, and shredded basil on top. It’s an endlessly adaptable, simple soup that is hard to screw up."

Ingredients
Method
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, then add shallots and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
Add rice and cook, stirring for 1 minute, then add stock and bring to a boil.
Cover, lower the heat, and simmer until rice is just tender, 35 to 45 minutes.
Add sugar snap peas, asparagus, and green peas, and season with salt and pepper.
The key to making this soup truly delicious is getting the seasoning right, so if you need more salt, add some and taste again.
Taste and adjust.
Simmer for another 2 or 3 minutes and serve immediately; this way the vegetables stay crisp and bright.
