Pin This RecipeThis “Souper Rice” is so good! It is like a cheater risotto. This rice is made with chicken soup, instant rice, chicken broth, and parmesan cheese. It only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. We both loved the flavors. This is a great base recipe to get creative with. You could add some chicken, peas, and mushrooms and this rice would be a full meal.
Feel free to use Cream of Mushroom soup or your favorite Cream of Soup flavor in this dish. You can also switch up the cheeses. Cheddar, asiago, romano – use whatever your family likes. I used grated parmesan cheese from the green jar and it tasted great!

Ingredients:
- 1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup (can use 98% fat free)

Notes:
- This recipe is specifically made for Instant White Rice. Using any other kind of rice will not work with this particular recipe.

Do you rinse the Minite rice with water prior to putting in the pan?
I don’t, but you can.
I have made this 3 times. I love it. I added green things like green beans and broccoli it turned out great. Thank you for sharing.
Can you add chopped up rotisserie chicken to make it a meal? If so? When do you add it? Thanks 😀
You can add chicken. I would add it when you add the rice and cheese.
Can water be used in place of broth?
yes
OMG this is so good! Never thought of using broth and parmesan..duh..compete game changer. Thank you
Ok, Plain Chicken Lady!! I love how straightforward, easy, and tasty the recipes you share on this site are!! This is the latest example for me. I made it tonight and it was so good. And to your point, I can see how one can use this as the basis for additional exploration of tastes and ingredients. And to think I never purchased a box of minute rice in my life until today! Thank you very much for sharing this. I have a new go-to side dish.
This was a great quick meal. I did this recipe 3 times already, each with a different type of instant. (White, Jasmine, and Brown) It works well with Instant Brown Rice, you just have to adjust the measurements of the Broth(water) according to measurements on the back of the box. It taste even better with smoked cheese added.
I’m glad you posted this because I have some brown rice that I wanted to use. Thanks for experimenting for me!
Measurements on White/Brown are identical. Cook time/simmer is different. I have brown minute rice. Follow those instructions?
I can not say as I have not made this with brown rice. Let us know how it turns out if you try it.
