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!
Souper Rice
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup (can use 98% fat free)
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups uncooked instant white rice
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (green can or fresh)
- dash freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Heat the soup and broth in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.
- Stir the rice, cheese, and pepper into the saucepan. Cover the pan and remove from heat.
- Let stand for 5-8 minutes, until rice is cook and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Notes:
- This recipe is specifically made for Instant White Rice. Using any other kind of rice will not work with this particular recipe.
- You can use any can of condensed cream soup that you enjoy. Cream of chicken, mushroom, celery, or broccoli all works fine.
- I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.

Made it for the first time tonight and LOVED it!!!
Added peas for color! Thank you!
I made it with white rice, cooked the rice till sticky then added together. Used broccoli cheese condensed soup (what I had) so good!!! My girls 6 and 3 liked it too!!
I’ve made this 3 times already and absolutely love it..it’s a fav in my house…i used broccoli cheese soup instead of cream of chicken (cause that’s all I had) and it was amazing 👏…if you have any tips on the best way to heat it up I’d appreciate and thank you for the recipe!
Do you think instant brown rice would work?
I think that would work – check the box for the cooking times.
What should I do differently if I dont have the instant rice? I just have either Basmati rice or regular white rice.
I have only made this recipe with instant rice. Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I’ve cooked this type of rice for years. If you use any other rice, just combine the ingredients in a casserole dish, cover and bake on 350 for about an hour, or until the rice is tender.
I'm going to add broccoli to mine. Yummy ????
How do you think it would work without the broth or if I subbed it with water?
It should be fine
All I have in the house right now is a bar of real parmesan cheese. Do you think it would be ok to shred it and sub for green can? Want to make it NOW, not wait til next trip to grocery, which is 17 miles away. Tnx
Sure! Either will work fine. Enjoy!
Not a cheese fan, could I make this without it?
Making this with regular rice tonight. But I'm only putting one cup of rice in it and I am adding chicken.
All I have is steamed rice in a bag, do you think if I halve the liquids that would still work since the rice is already cooked?
I've made this 3 times & it's always good!
I made this last night – added chopped rotisserie chicken, it was delicious!
I made this tonight I used grated parmesan reggiano. It cane out perfect so easy and yummy. Ann I dont care for instant rice and had to go out and buy it but it was well worth the $1.50 because this came out great.
Thanks Katara! Got the instant rice & making it today!
This looks so good. I'm always on the lookout for easy sides.

Oops! This sounds great but I never have instant rice on hand. Has anyone made it with regular white rice?
