Broccoli Rice Soup

1 bag frozen broccoli
3 large carrots, sliced
3/4 cup minute rice
3-4 tsp chicken boullion
1 onion, diced
water to cover
1 cup milk
salt to taste

(This is an alternative to broccoli cheese soup. We LOVE it!) Add all ingedients except milk and bring to a boil. (I like to add broccoli last to the boiling water to retain nutrients). Simmer until rice is done (about 5 minutes). Add milk and lightly blend in blender.
Sprinkle with cheese.
