Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower to flowerettes, and peel and cube the
eggplant. Add the cauliflower, eggplant and rice to the boiling stock,
along with the salt, pepper and coriander.

Lower the heat, cover partially, and simmer for 1/2 to 3/4 hour, until
the vegetables are soft and the rice is cooked.

Just before serving, sprinkle each serving with olive oil, and garnish
with chopped parsley.

This soup is best prepared a day ahead and then reheated gently.
