Today I
wanted to something a little different and go into food blogger territory to
share with you all one of my favorite soup recipe. There are several variations
depending on the kind of meal you are looking for, but no matter how you do it,
it’s a great soup for when you have an upset stomach or are looking for a quick
and light meal.
This is a
simple vegetable soup with chicken broth and either rice or glass noodles. If you are looking for something filling and
easy to have after a long day at work, I would go for brown rice which is very
healthy. If you’ve been sick or feel the
need for a light meal that won’t upset your stomach, I would use either white jasmine
rice or, for an even lighter option: glass noodles which are usually made of
beans and potatoes. It takes about 20 minutes to make but it can take a bit
longer if you’re using rice (brown rice takes the longest to cook).
Ingredients (serves 1):
- 3 green
onions
- 2 nantes
carrots (they are sweeter)
- 1 cup of
brown/white rice or a portion of glass noodles (they usually come in individual
portions)
- 2 ½ cups
of water or chicken broth
- Chicken
broth: if you are using fresh chicken broth use it instead of water and if you
are using dehydrated broth then simply use it to season to taste
How to:
If you are
using rice, start off by thoroughly rinsing it and then put it in a rice cooker
with water following the instruction for the water measurements (usually 1 cup
of water for 1 cup of rice). You can then move on to the vegetables. If you’re
using noodles you can find the instruction for them below.
First start
off by cutting all your vegetables and putting them in a pot with your water.
Cover until it comes to a boil and then remove the lid and lower to heath to
let it simmer for about five minutes or until your carrots are cooked.
While you
are waiting for the vegetables to boil, fill another pot with a bit of water
and bring it to a boil. Once it’s ready remove it from the heath and had your
glass noodles to it. Cover with a lid and let it rest for 4 minutes.
Once everything
is cooked, pour your noodles into a sieve and rinse them under water. Next put
them into a large bowl. If you’re using rice, directly scoop it from the rice
cooker into your bowl. Afterwards, carefully pour the vegetables and the water
they’re in into your bowl. This is when you would add your dehydrated chicken
broth if you’re using it and stir everything together.
You now
have a quick and easy soup that’s perfect when you feel under the weather or
are tired. What's your favorite soup to make?
