Cheesey Chicken Rice Soup
In the United States of America, a problem that isn’t discussed often enough is that many people who face food insecurity lack protein. This is not great as protein is essential to the human diet. It provides essential nutrients and keeps one fuller for longer.
However, a recipe that could completely change the game is Cheesey Chicken Rice Soup. Not only is this recipe packed with protein but it is very delicious and is accessible to those facing food insecurity.
Ingredients
- Two Cans of Chicken
(For this I recommend using Great Value Chicken. It can be found at Walmart, usually less than a dollar per can, and in my opinion probably the best quality, especially for its price.)
-
One can of Corn
- One can of Tomato Sauce
- One can of black beans
-
One package of Velveeta cheese (or any kind of cheese of your choice)
- One Package of Rice
- Water
- Pot
- Bowl
- Spoon
Directions
- In a large pot add: chicken, corn, beans, and tomato sauce.
- Add four to six cups of water
-
If you want the water to be more brothy add more water, less brothy less water. It is all about preference
-
- Bring to a boil then add your rice
- Cook for Eight minutes
- Add in your cheese
- Once the cheese is melted pour it into a bowl and enjoy
This recipe looks easy and looks like it tastes very good! All of the ingredients seem as though they could be found in the campus cupboard, which makes things even easier. I also liked that you emphasized that this adds protein to your diet. I think this would be a great idea to make extra and have as leftovers throughout the week. Overall, this is a great recipe for students!
I like this recipe! It sounds delicious. I really like your introduction, as it serves a greater purpose for those who read it. I myself often struggle to always add protein to a meal, especially after work or a long day where I just want to eat something quick and simple. This gives people a purpose to read and make the recipe.
Hi! Yes, that’s true I struggle with getting a lot of protein as well. It’s difficult for me because I don’t like a lot of meat. I’m not vegetarian or anything I just don’t like the flavor of a lot of meat so I feel you on that one.
This recipe sounds awesome! Protein is such a staple and being able to add it into meals easily is always a bonus. It seems like a easy recipe to make and your instructions are easy to follow. Warm meals are always good as well, especially with the colder months coming.
