Step 1
Start by cooking the rice in about 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Let it simmer until the rice is tender and fully cooked. Meanwhile, in a large pot, combine the broth, cooked rice, corn, chopped green onions, diced red and green bell peppers, parsley, and tarragon. Give everything a good stir and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the corn is nice and tender. While that’s cooking, mix the cornstarch with a little water in a small bowl until smooth. Slowly pour this into the soup, stirring as you go. Keep cooking and stirring occasionally for another 5 minutes until the broth thickens slightly. Once it’s done, ladle it into bowls and enjoy!
