Comfort Classic
When you’re craving comfort food, you’ll want to keep this soup recipe close! Making your own hearty, homemade soup just got a whole lot easier thanks to our Success® Boil-in-Bag White Rice. It’s also a lot quicker, as our rice is ready to eat in just 10 minutes.
If you’ve never made homemade soup before, let’s break down the essentials. While your rice is cooking, in another pot, you’ll want to heat up the chicken broth and evaporated milk. This will give the soup a savory yet creamy base. Next, you’ll want to add the cornstarch. Don’t skip this step, as the cornstarch, seasoning and water mixture will help to thicken your soup as it cooks. While you’re stirring your soup, don’t forget to keep an eye on your quick-cooking rice.
Once the soup has reached the desired thickness, add in the chicken and veggies, then the cooked rice. For an extra bit of flavor, top this dish with shredded cheese and crispy bacon!
