Rainbow Risotto
Makes 6 servings
4 cups Vegetable Broth, divided
1 cup dry arborio rice

1 cup finely chopped zucchini

Place 3 1/2 cups broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in rice, reduce heat, and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place remaining 1/2 cup broth in a large non-stick skillet. Add onion, broccoli, zucchini, corn, and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add soy sauce and spinach. Cook about 3 minutes. Combine rice and vegetable mixture. Season with black pepper.
