This is the soup I've lived on for two whole years after moving out to study. I didn't even know how to cook rice back then since my mum was the best cook ever and I couldn't be bothered to even try to live up to her standards of food. After a month or two of exclusively eating pizza and ready-made supermarket grub I gave in and called her. Graciously overlooking my defeat ("I TOLD you to watch closely!!"), she explained patiently how to chop an onion without chopping my fingers in the process, and that she always uses the microwaveable rice, anyway. <br />That's the story of this one-pot soup I had for dinner more often than I'd care to admit.
