    This one of my favorite recipes to make. I recently came across Campbell’s Cream of Buffalo Chicken so I tried it out and added chopped broccoli. It’s spicy but it the spot on a cold night!

    When the “souper rice” recipes first came out a few decades ago, I would make them with whichever “cream of” soup my son requested. Now that I cook solely for myself, I like to use cream of onion–I dislike cream of bird–and I add a large can of white meat chicken to it when it needs to stand for the rice to be fully cooked. Makes for a nice meaty meal, with plenty of leftovers for a few more!

    Tastes wonderful! My instant rice was not fully cooked by 8 mins. So I brought it back to a boil and repeated process. Let it sit removed from heat for 5 extra minutes and that did the trick!

      Thank you Maddy!

    Lovely recipe!! I personally need more seasonings in my dish, so I added additional seasonings. This recipe was wonderful and easy, especially being a toddler mom. I used “regular” rice, cooked it a bit first, let my broth/soup mixture reduce slightly, and then added the rice as to not make it mushy. Turned out great.
