Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the uncooked rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
In a medium saucepan or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat it in the butter. Cook the rice for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, to lightly toast it.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice cook on low heat for 15–18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Avoid stirring while cooking to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a standalone bowl of comfort. Enjoy your Souper Rice!
