Rice Soup

By: Mad Cow

Winter is approaching, as, undoubtably are the snotty noses and sore throats. Its bad enough having the kids at home at the best of times, so avoid having them home from school sick by being prepared.

Yup, Rice Soup will do the trick!

If you don't already have one get yourself a rice cooker!

Follow directions on rice cooker & cook rice as normal.

Stock Options (the food kind)

make a stock from leftover chicken carcas, by boiling it up with some onion and a teaspoon or cube of chicken stock
make a chicken stock with water and powedered or cubed chicken stock
get a pack of chicken noodle soup and prepare it as normal
Dice up some vegies, and/or use tinned stuff - eg, carrots, broccoli, corn, cauliflower, bok choy, celery, onion ... use your imagination

Put all vegies into a dish and microwave for 2-3 mins, steam them or boil them (we prefer the microwave option)

When rice is cooked, spoon into bowls, add mixed vegies and pour stock/soup over the top.

Colds and sore throats banished, kids back to school, hubbies and partners back to work!

Woo Hoo!!

Easy done, and its very yummy, too.
