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

  1. In a large pot add: chicken, corn, beans, and tomato sauce. 
  2. Add four to six cups of water 
    1. If you want the water to be more brothy add more water, less brothy less water. It is all about preference
  3. Bring to a boil then add your rice 
  4. Cook for Eight minutes 
  5. Add in your cheese 
  6. Once the cheese is melted pour it into a bowl and enjoy
