Okay, so I tried making this rice dish with French onion soup, and let me tell you, it was a bit of an adventure. I’m not much of a cook, but I was feeling adventurous.
I started by gathering my stuff. I had some leftover rice from the other night and a can of French onion soup that had been sitting in my cupboard for who knows how long. I also grabbed some butter, because everything’s better with butter, right?
First, I dumped the rice into a pot. Then, I opened the can of soup and poured it over the rice. It looked a little weird, I’m not gonna lie. I stirred it up a bit and then put the pot on the stove over medium heat.
While the rice and soup were heating up, I melted some butter in a separate pan. I figured I’d add it to the rice later for extra flavor. Once the butter was melted, I just turned off the heat and let it sit there.
I kept an eye on the rice and soup, stirring it occasionally. I wasn’t sure how long to cook it for, so I just waited until it started bubbling. Then, I turned down the heat and let it simmer for a bit longer. I added the melted butter to the pot and stirred it in.
After a few minutes, I decided it was probably done. I turned off the stove and let it cool down a little before trying it. To be honest, it didn’t look super appetizing, but I was hungry, so I dug in.
It was…interesting. The rice had soaked up all the soup, so it was pretty soft and mushy. The flavor was okay, mostly just tasted like French onion soup. I guess you could add some other stuff to it, like maybe some cheese or herbs. I read some stuff online after I made it, and apparently, people add thyme and bay leaves. Some folks even use fish sauce, which sounds kind of gross to me, but what do I know?
I also learned that some people pair this soup with salads or roasted vegetables, or even some meat like chicken or pork. I just ate it plain, but maybe next time I’ll try it with a side salad. Or maybe not. I don’t know if I’ll make this again, to be honest.
Overall, it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever made, but it wasn’t exactly a culinary masterpiece either. If you’re feeling adventurous and have some leftover rice and French onion soup, give it a try. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!
