Creamy Vegetable Chowder

We eat a lot of soup in our house and this is a popular one. It has tons of veggies and feels rich and hearty but isn't loaded with fat. You are not obligated to follow this recipe to the letter, you can use what you have in your fridge. I must say that it is rather essential to have at least the onion and the broccoli. I also used brown rice which you could replace with potatoes or a different kind of rice if you prefer.
