✅ 4 Tips for Best Results:

1. Thicker soup? Use pre-cooked rice and add it in the last 30 minutes of cooking to avoid mushiness.

2. Want a lighter version? Swap white rice for cooked brown rice or quinoa.

3. Smoky flavor boost: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or use fire-roasted tomatoes.

4. Freezing tip: If freezing, store the rice separately to prevent it from getting too soft when reheated.
