Mexican Dry Rice Soup – Healthy Recipe 2

I found this recipe years ago in a health food cook book. I changed it a bit to make it the way I liked it. Here it is.

1 lb Italian turkey sausage – I use the big fat links
1 small onion
1 clove minced garlic
2tbs olive oil
1 cup brown rice
3 1/4 cups of liquid, with at least 1 cup of the liquid being any type of salsa you like – you can use more than 1 cup, but no more than 2 cups. The remainder of the liquid can be water or chicken broth/stock.
salt & pepper to taste (depending on the salsa and the broth – you may not need any salt)

Cook the sausage according to the directions and cut into  1/2 – 1″ slices. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion is soft. Add the rice, sausage and liquid. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes or until the liquid is gone. Don’t stir during cooking.
