Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 lb green beans, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
1 lb shelled fresh cranberry beans (1 cup shelled )
6 cups vegetable stock
1 large ripe tomato, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup rice ( arborio)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
chopped fresh basil, for garnish

Directions:

Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
Add onion and red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook until it gives off its aroma, about 1 minute.
Stir in the zucchini, green beans, and cranberry beans.
Add the stock, 2 cups water, tomato, and thyme, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Decrease heat to low and partially cover the pot.
Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the rice and decrease heat to medium.
Cook at a brisk simmer until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
Drain the rice in a wire sieve and rinse under cold running water.
When the vegetables are tender, stir the rice into the soup and cook for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cool to room temperature; serve at room temperature, sprinkled with the basil.
