Cook until its lightly browned, which should only take about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add the Vegetables
Toss in the vegetables and cook them, stirring often, until the onion is translucent.
The objective is to soften the vegetables without browning them.
If you notice browning, turn the heat down or stir more often.
Add Seasonings and Simmer
Add the seasonings to the pot and stir, cooking for 1 minute.
This step toasts the spices, adding depth and complexity to the soup.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the rice, stir, then reduce heat to low.
Cover the pot to allow the rice to cook, which should take about 30 to 35 minutes.
