Time 25m

Yield 14 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves
2 cups white rice
2 chicken stock cubes
1 lb canned spinach
2 quarts water
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt

Steps:

  • Thinly chop and sauté the onion in the vegetable oil. Add a bit of water if necessary to prevent burning.
  • Mince garlic and add to the sautéed onions along with the rice. Fry mixture for a couple of minutes to ensure that the rice won't get mushy later.
  • Drain spinach and pour the reserved liquid in the pot. Run your knife through the drained spinach chopping the longer stems.
  • Add chicken cubes, white pepper, paprika and lemon juice and water.
  • Cook for 20 min on medium high heat or until the rice is tender.
  • The soup will have a thicker consistency. You can add more water or chicken stock to adjust the thickness to your preferences.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a very affordable meal. I like to add some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and onion powder to give it more flavor. It was still good, but I think I would prefer a different recipe next time.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice and added some chopped carrots for extra flavor. It was a great way to use up some leftover spinach.
