Souper rice is a creamy and comforting side dish made with simple ingredients like chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and parmesan cheese. Quick to prepare in just 10-13 minutes, it’s an easy recipe perfect for busy weeknights or pairing with your favorite main dishes.
To a medium (2 ½ - 3 quart) sauce pot with a tight fitting lid, stir together the chicken broth, condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken bouillon and black pepper. Bring the liquids to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, stir in the instant white rice and grated parmesan cheese.
Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and remove the pot from the heat.
Allow the rice to sit, undisturbed for 5-8 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquids have been absorbed by the rice.
Stir the rice mixture well before transferring to a serving bowl and topping with a light sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley as an optional garnish.
Notes
There is no need to add any additional salt to this recipe as the chicken broth and chicken bouillon add plenty of flavor to the rice.
You can substitute standard, or unsalted, chicken broth in this recipe depending on the amount of sodium you prefer. I highly recommend using good quality brands as this is a simple dish with few ingredients so you want to make sure you are using the most flavorful ingredients.
This recipe is designed to be made using instant white rice. Other varieties of rice will not work with this recipe.
