Notes
What kind of rice is in Ninja Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup?
White, medium, or long-grain rice should be used. DO NOT USE INSTANT RICE. Using other types of rice, especially wild rice will need to cook much longer than white rice and will the carrots and chicken will overcook during that extra time.
Should rice be rinsed for soup?
Yes, you want to make sure that you rinse the rice before cooking it and adding it to the soup to make sure that it is clean. Also, rinsing the rice helps get rid of a lot of the extra starch. Extra starch can make the soup thicker than you want it to be.
How do you add richness to chicken soup?
I use Better than Bouillon mixed with water to make my own broth. To add a little extra flavor, I sometimes add a little extra of the Better than Bouillon. If you don't have better than bouillon, you can add in a chicken-flavored bouillon cube. Adding in additional vegetables like onion, celery, mushroom, or garlic that have been cooked down can also help add depth and flavor to chicken soup.
