“In January it’s so nice
While slippin’ on the slidin’ ice
To sip hot chicken soup with rice
Sippin’ once, sippin’ twice
Sippin’ chicken soup with rice”– Chicken Soup With Rice (Lyrics by Maurice Sendak, music by Carole King)
I love Chicken Soup in all shapes and forms, but especially with rice. And it’s even b However, it’s a fact that I cannot cook rice (seriously). I burn it every time. So, instead of burning my pans, I usually buy frozen rice. Recently, I was introduced to Veetee Heat & Eat Rice. It blew the frozen rice I was buying out of the water. Why? Because it tasted better than the frozen brown rice that I was buying, plus I had a lot more flavor options.
Veetee Dine In Rice comes in several different types: Basmati, Whole Grain Brown Rice, Chicken Flavour Rice, Long Grain Rice, Thai Jasmine, Basmati and Wild Rice. Just put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, with the film lid peeled back halfway. Or it can be stir-fried for 2 minutes in a little vegetable oil. Fluff up rice with a fork before serving. I can’t even get this wrong.
Several of Veetee’s Dine In Rices are gluten free. I suggest you check packaging if you have a gluten allergy or intolerance.
My challenge was to create a recipe with Veetee. Since it’s winter and I am a soup addict, I challenged myself to make my dad’s chicken soup recipe, easier and using Veetee rice. My dad’s recipe is a family one and takes around 3 hours (see my post here).
Basically — at the grocery store, grab a package of “Soup” Greens, carrots, a whole chicken (either organic or kosher), chicken stock, celery, mushrooms (optional). This is a soup that you would make over the weekend and serve for two-three days.
