  2. In a separate pot, heat vegetable broth to nearly boiling, then remove from heat. Add in 7 c. broth and sundried tomatoes to rice mix. Reserve remaining 1 c. broth. Bring rice mix to a boil and reduce heat to a lively simmer for 12 min, stirring often.
  3. Meanwhile, after 10 min, combine reserved c. of broth, asparagus, mushrooms and basil in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely with plastic and heat in microwave on high for 1 1/2 min, till warm but not completely cooked. Add in mix to simmering rice, mix well and simmer about 5 min more, till mix is creamy and rice is just done.
  4. Helpful hint: If you do not have a microwave, steam asparagus, mushrooms and basil for 5 min, till asparagus is tender-crisp. Add in to the mix along with remaining 1 c. vegetable broth. Continue cooking and stirring till mix is creamy and rice is done.
