Recipe Tips

To add extra flavor to the soup, try using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought. You can also add other vegetables such as peas, corn, or green beans. For a creamier soup, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add more rice or use a different type of rice such as brown rice or wild rice. Enjoy!
