I just made this, using veggie stock, no mushrooms (cuz I don’t like them) and using oregano (I didn’t have marjoram) and it was quite tasty! Thanks, I think this will become a regular staple around here as I attempt to limit processed/boxed meals around here. Now off to try one of the chicken dishes.

This looks delicious, but I am just learning to cook and am a little confused – in the list of ingredients you list “brown rice (cooked)” but in the directions you say to stir in the UNcooked rice. I don’t think twelve minutes would be long enough to cook brown rice, so I’m guessing it’s cooked, but I don’t know enough about cooking to know if already cooked brown rice will absorb the broth properly… Haha, leave it to me to be confused by rice.
