Rice is the food to eat to heal you from illness. It’s neutral enough for everyone to eat and digest, young and old alike. Here, this 10-Minute Rice Soup takes soul satisfaction and puts the prep on the speedway. Leftover rice combines with a soy-chicken-based broth and then gets a garnish of eggs for a boost of protein.
INGREDIENTS
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 to 3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cups cooked rice
2 to 3 tablespoons sliced scallions, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, set aside.
In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups chicken stock and soy sauce to a simmer, add in the rice. Bring to a simmer and stir to prevent clumping. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover slightly and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. If it’s looking too thick add more stock.
Lower the heat and drizzle egg over the top of the soup, cooking until the eggs are just cooked, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Stir egg into soup. Garnish with scallions, serve and enjoy.
