of soup. I've tried to doctor them up, but they still are void of the essential tastes of my home cooked types.
Here is a recipe I've tried with great results to use up those vegetable beef brands. It makes a flavorable rice that is delicious with some grilled pork. You just set that timer and grill those chops, and all will come together when the meat is cooked.
3 cups of rice (using your measuring device from rice cooker)
3 cans of vegetable beef soup drained (beef broth set aside)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp. herbs de Provence
1 tab. oil
water
Add rice to rice cooker. Take drained soup from cans and add to rice. Discard soup contents to pets mixed with dry food (got to keep those pets fed too during this recession, too!). Add the rest of the ingredients and fill with water to the third water line. Finally, cook according to rice cooker instructions.
