Simple Rice Soup
Simple Rice Soup
After landing in Salt Lake City for Alt Summit at the gorgeous Grand America Hotel, my mom and I were ravishing! With limited time, my mom and I quickly settled on rice soup which promised to be a popular menu selection. When our perfectly cooked rice came to the table and was followed with steaming vegetable stock, which they poured over the rice tableside, my mom and I couldn’t wait to dig in. Not only is this recipe incredibly healthy and delicious, it’s a great way to utilize leftover rice, vegetables and even proteins at the drop of a hat.
Yield: 4 servings
Oven: N/A
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
1 cup cooked white rice
6 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
2 scallions thinly sliced
Method:
1. In a small size saucepan over low heat, cook rice according to package directions, approximately 12 – 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium size saucepan over medium heat, bring stock to just below a boil.
3. To serve, divide cooked rice among 4 serving bowls and top with onions. Pour stock on top and serve immediately.
Kitchen Note: If desired, add cooked chicken or shrimp before you add the stock. Adding fresh herbs, like cilantro or parsley, right before serving is a great way to add additional color!
