CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP



Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

A supremely filling, hearty soup. I serve this on cold rainy days with a loaf of homemade bread. Hint: this is perfect for leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken you've pulled from the bone after making homemade chicken stock! This soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it slightly with skim milk or water when reheating.

QUICK AND EASY, THICK AND CREAMY RICE PUDDING



Quick and Easy, Thick and Creamy Rice Pudding image

This stuff tastes just like Tapioca pudding! I wanted to make rice pudding, but didn't want to make a huge batch. Also, I wanted to start with already cooked rice and have no eggs or evaporated milk on hand. This is a VERY simple adaptation, low-fat, and turns out beautiful and creamy. This recipe can be quite easily doubled or even tripled if desired, just expect longer cooking time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 2 bowls, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cooked rice (I use short grain white rice, but you can use any variety and length, just add more milk or cook for)
2 cups nonfat milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Combine rice, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt in medium sauce pan.
  • Put on medium-high heat and bring to light/moderate boil. Let boil for about 20 minutes until liquid has cooked down a bit and starts to thicken.(Stir often and be sure to watch so it doesn't boil over!) A little "skin" may form on top. This is what you want- it adds to the creaminess:).
  • In small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Pour into rice mixture and stir. It should thicken up fairly quickly. If it doesn't thicken immediately, don't worry. Just keep at medium heat and stir frequently until it is of desired consistency.
  • Pour into bowls and serve immediately. You may top with cool whip if desired.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your creamy rice. Use long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for a light and fluffy texture. Choose heavy cream or full-fat milk for a rich and creamy flavor. And use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
  • Cook the rice properly: To ensure that your rice is cooked perfectly, follow the package instructions carefully. Generally, you will want to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch. Then, cook the rice in a pot with water or broth, covered, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Add the cream and cheese gradually: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cream and cheese gradually. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming too thick or curdled.
  • Season to taste: Once you have added the cream and cheese, season the rice to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Serve immediately: Creamy rice is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.

Creamy rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy rice dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
