To a medium (2 ½ - 3 quart) sauce pot with a tight-fitting lid, stir together the chicken broth, condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken bouillon and black pepper. Bring the liquids to a boil over medium-high heat.
1½ cups chicken broth, 10.5 ounces can condensed cream of chicken soup, 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Once the mixture comes to a boil, stir in the instant white rice and grated parmesan cheese.
2 cups instant white rice, ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and remove the pot from the heat.
Allow the rice to sit, undisturbed for 5-8 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquids have been absorbed by the rice.
Stir the rice mixture well before transferring to a serving bowl and topping with a light sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley as an optional garnish.
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Notes
Storage :
To Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
To Reheat: You can add a splash of water or chicken broth to the souper rice when reheating, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, to loosen the mixture.
Tips :
There is no need to add any additional salt to this recipe as the chicken broth and chicken bouillon add plenty of flavor to the rice.
I do not recommend using other varieties of rice for this recipe; even using instant brown rice will alter the results.
Feel free to add your favorite proteins and veggies to make this a well-balanced complete meal. Browned ground beef, ground turkey, and rotisserie chicken are great protein options. You can even mix in a can of drained tuna or chicken!
