notes & tips
  • Thicker soup? Use less water (4 cups instead of 5) for a stew-like consistency.
  • Add noodles instead of rice. Break up spaghetti or use egg noodles. Cook the same way.
  • Leftovers: Keeps for 4 days. The rice will absorb liquid overnight, so add a splash of water when reheating.
