“Just made this incredibly good soup and finished a bowl with my husband. I omitted the cream, but used Ben's Ready Rice in the orange pouch. I just put it in, uncooked where it says to put in the rice and brown it. I added 1 tsp. extra garlic and ginger eac” — a cook, 5.0★
“This is an easy soup to make. I like the lemon juice in it. I add a little lemon juice to a lot of my soup recipes. A little side note to keep rice from absorbing the broth. I always add my rice to my soup mug or bowl and then ladle the soup over it. No mush” — a cook, 4.0★
