Rice pudding soup is a comforting and unique dish that combines the creamy, sweet flavors of traditional rice pudding with a soupy consistency. This dish is perfect for those who enjoy a warm, hearty meal with a twist.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- Fresh fruit or berries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Rice:
- In a medium saucepan, add the rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Make the Soup Base:
- In a separate large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to steam but does not boil.
- Combine Rice and Milk Mixture:
- Add the cooked rice to the milk mixture. Stir to combine. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add Raisins (Optional):
- If using raisins, add them to the soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until they are plump.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh fruit or berries if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Serve warm and enjoy your comforting rice pudding soup!
