1 1/4 cup uncooked instant rice

directions

Combine the soup and water (or milk) in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the soup mixture to a boil. Add the rice and stir well.

recipe tips


Use chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor.

Experiment with different cream soups to change things up.

Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for a more savory flavor.

For a creamier texture, use milk instead of water.

Serve as a side dish or as a base for a bowl-style meal with added protein and vegetables.

  1. LaVerne REVIEW:

    The original "souper rice" recipe, from Campbell's back in the 70's, called for one can of rice to be used. This makes a moist and delicious rice! Really great!
