Yes you can if you want to! You’d use less broth in the soup. And the rice won’t absorb the flavors from the soup so it won’t be quits as flavorful. You might consider cooking the rice in chicken broth to help get it some more flavor!

So glad you liked it!

This was SO good! I followed the recipe as given except for using turkey stock instead of chicken stock. I was a little concerned about the lack of various seasonings, but this didn’t need it. It was delicious! The only thing I might change is to add more broth. With the amount of liquid the rice soaked up, it wasn’t soupy enough for me, but that’s my only critique (& really just a personal preference.) Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

So glad you liked it!

So glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing this tip!

I can’t offer guidance on preserving this soup through canning, but hope you can find some good info out there about this that works for you!

So glad you liked it! I use better than bouillon all the time, it’s such a great product.

Very yummy. I was looking for a recipe that didn’t include any milk or creams and this fit the bill. I did add a pinch of thyme and parsley. I only had 4 cups of chicken broth, so I added better than bouillon and a couple cups of water.

So glad you liked it!

This is a common question about ghee! Ghee is clarified butter, which means the dairy particles have been removed, and is suitable for someone who needs a dairy-free option (which was the reason for my posting this suggestion). So while technically a dairy “product,” the lactose solids have been removed. If someone wants a 100% dairy-free, vegan option, olive oil or a vegan butter would be a good alternative here!

So glad you liked it! One of my favorite simple soup recipes.

So glad you liked it! Love the idea of adding mushrooms.

Great idea!
