Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of rice white, brown, or any variety you prefer
  • 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 medium carrots chopped
  • 1 celery stalk chopped
  • 1 cup of frozen peas or fresh, if preferred
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional protein chicken, beef, or tofu
  • Optional creamy element heavy cream, coconut milk, or cream cheese

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Stirring Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Ladle (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Rice: If using uncooked rice, rinse it under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the rice, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. If adding any protein, include it at this stage.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally.
  5. Add Final Ingredients: If you want a creamier texture, stir in your preferred creamy element, like heavy cream or coconut milk. Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through.
  6. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

  • Rice Type: You can use any rice variety, but keep in mind that different types (e.g., white, brown, or wild rice) will require slightly different cooking times.
  • Protein Options: You can easily add cooked chicken, beef, or even tofu to make the dish more substantial. If adding raw protein, ensure it cooks through while simmering.
  • Make It Vegetarian: For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth and omit any animal protein.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to a month, though the rice may become a little softer upon reheating.
