Last
weekend, we had chicken soup. There was a fairly large amount of broth leftover
afterwards, and I didn’t want to waste it. I had heard of people using soup
broth to make other foods, so I decided to give it a try. First, I strained the
broth to remove any leftover solids. Then I measured it—it came out to be about
5 cups. The perfect amount to make rice! I cooked the rice like I typically do.
The resulting rice was so fragrant and delicious!
Other
uses of leftover soup broth:
- Cook any grains, including rice, quinoa, and barley in soup broth
- Use it to start another soup or stew
- Add a bit to mashed potatoes
- Use it to make stuffing
- Cook beans, lentils, or chickpeas in soup broth
So you poured the broth over the rice? I'm not a big rice person but perhaps with the moistness and flavour from broth I would like it. I do love rice when it's part of a saucy main. This sounds really yummy!
ReplyDeleteI put the rice and soup both into the the pot together and let the rice cook like that.
DeleteThat's a great idea-I love being able to reuse all my leftovers instead of throwing them or having them mold in the fridge...and then throwing them out...
ReplyDeleteThat's the worst... Letting perfectly good food go bad.
DeleteUndeniably yummy. I made rice with leftover soup broth, then used it in my Southwestern Rice with Cheese recipe. So good! See link below.

That recipe looks delicious! I'm not sure if my stomach could handle all that dairy at once!
