Ingredients

Scale

Souper Rice Ingredients

  • 1 10.75-ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked instant rice
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated or from a can)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat Soup Mixture: In a large saucepan, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mixture begins to simmer.
  2. Add Rice and Cheese: Stir in the uncooked instant rice, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of black pepper to the simmering soup mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cover and Rest: Cover the pan tightly with a lid, then remove it from the heat source. Let it stand covered for 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid and become tender.
  4. Serve: Once the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, fluff gently and serve the souper rice hot as a creamy side dish or quick main course.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable broth to make this recipe vegetarian-friendly, and use a cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken to keep it meat-free.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds better flavor than pre-grated, but either works.
  • The recipe uses instant rice to speed up cooking; regular rice would require longer cooking time and more liquid.
  • Adding cooked vegetables or shredded chicken can turn this into a heartier meal.
  • Adjust black pepper and other seasonings to taste for more flavor.
