Chicken, Spinach and Carrot Soup with Brown Rice

Ingredients:

• Cooking spray
  
• 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
• Shredded carrot (about a cup or so)
  
• 1/4 cup parboiled brown rice (I used Uncle Ben's)
  
• 2/3 cup chicken broth
• 1 package frozen spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
• 1 cup chicken broth
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

In a medium sauce pan on medium heat, cook onions and carrots in cooking spray until tender. Add rice and cook until rice is a light golden color, then add 2/3 cup broth. Bring broth to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
Add spinach, 1 cup broth, season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until spinach is hot.

This was really good; however, I think I'd add 1/2 cup of the rice next time. I also needed to add more than 1 cup of broth at the end.
