Stir the rice into a soup

Soup is always a good idea, whether you're making it from the family recipe or to empty the produce crisper. It is a simple alternative for both the novice home cook and the seasoned chef, and a hot bowlful will always come in handy when you're hungry. The best part about soup is how adaptable it is in terms of flavor and ingredients. As there are people in the world, there are an equal number of soups. Regardless of your preference for soup, most people can agree on one thing: Better soups are heartier soups.

This is where you can use the remaining rice. Do you need something to warm your soul and stomach? Soup with chicken and rice will work. Looking for a dish with strong flavors? Give each bowl of steaming chicken and sausage gumbo a scoop of those leftover grains of rice from the previous day. Rice can give nutrition and solidity to your vegetable and vegan stylings in addition to bulking up soups with meat as the main ingredient. Your taste senses will like it if you add some rice to practically any soup.
