Free of gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, and soy. Brown jasmine is a slender, aromatic long-grain rice that cooks in about 30 minutes. Originally from Thailand, this delicate rice is versatile and moist. Buy prepackaged to avoid cross-contamination. If you're not sensitive to dairy, stir some Romano cheese into the soup at the end of cooking.
