So, again to the soup:
📋 What do we want?

- Rice – I take advantage of lengthy grain rice for this, however basmati or basmati-wild-rice-mix additionally work nicely. In the event you needed to make use of brown rice or pure wild rice, this takes longer to cook dinner (often 15-20 minutes extra) and would require an additional cup (240ml) of inventory.
- Inventory – Water plus inventory cubes is ok, or you could possibly use do-it-yourself inventory you probably have some handy.
- Cream and milk – use full fats for the most effective style, ESPECIALLY if you happen to’re meaning to freeze any leftovers (low fats dairy tends to separate when freezing/reheating).
