Equipment

Notes

    • Thickening. As the soup cooks, it will thicken. It will thicken further as it cools. Feel free to add a splash or two of heavy cream or chicken stock if you want to thin it out.

    • Customize. Add mushrooms, spinach, or kale for a different flavor!

    • Short on Time? Use pre-cooked rice or microwaveable wild rice to cut down on the cooking time. You’ll want to reduce the amount of chicken stock to 3 cups (or less) because a lot of that stock is soaked up while cooking the rice.
