Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Garlic cloves |
| 4 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 | Potato |
| 1 cup | Cooked rice |
| 2 cups | Vegetable broth |
| 2 cups | Water |
| 1 tbsp | Fresh parsley |
| 1 tbsp | Parmesan cheese (optional) |
Instructions:
-
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté until they turn light brown and fragrant.
-
Next, add the chopped onion to the saucepan and continue to cook until it becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
-
-
Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients. Peel and dice the potato into small cubes, then add them to the saucepan along with the cooked rice. Stir well to combine.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and water, ensuring that the potatoes and rice are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This allows all the flavors to meld together and the potatoes to become tender.
-
While the soup is simmering, you can prepare any additional toppings or garnishes you desire. Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the finished dish.
-
After an hour, check the consistency of the soup. It should be thick and hearty. If it’s too thin, you can simmer it for a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
-
Just before serving, if desired, stir in the Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
-
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of this potato rice soup!
Tips:
- To make this soup even heartier, consider adding diced carrots, celery, or other vegetables of your choice.
- For a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the soup using an immersion blender before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor to your liking. Thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a unique twist to this classic soup.
