1. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Saute the onion, thyme, and bay leaf 5 minutes.

2. Stir in the rice. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, just until the rice is translucent and coated in oil.

3. Stir in the broth. Heat just to a boil. Cover, lower heat, and simmer 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
