Vegetable Rice Soup
I had four cups of rice leftover and I needed to use it up. It was another one of those days that I didn’t want any meat. Now those that have been following me know how much I love the product Better Than Bouillon! It makes the best chicken, beef or vegetable base for soup that you can buy instead of making it from scratch. If you have never tried it, you should and those that do use it know how wonderful it tastes already.
Ingredients
In a medium pot, combine hot water and
Better Than Bouillon. Stir over medium
heat until combined. Add all of the rest of
the ingredients except for the rice. Bring
to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked rice and stir.
Cook just until hot and serve.

Ingredients
- 1 large onion, diced in large pieces
- 6 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/2” pieces
- 3 celery stalks, chopped into 1/2” pieces
- 12 cups hot tap water
- 5 Tbl “Better Than Bouillon”
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp pepper
***You can use 96 oz of chicken broth in place of the water and Better Than Bouillon but you will need to season it. There is salt in the Better Than Bouillon and that is why I didn’t add any.***
Directions
- In a medium pot over medium heat combine hot water with the Better Than Bouillon until combined. (or pour chicken broth into the pot)
- Add all of the rest of the ingredients except for the rice.
- Bring to a boil, reduced to a simmer. Simmer until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the rice, stir and cook just until hot then serve.

Thank you! It was delicious!
Nice recipe
Thank you!
A good alternative to chicken noodle soup and it looks great as a comforting winter meal!
Thank you Rini!!!
We love the beef and chicken one . In the last 2 weeks we have made 2 big pots of chicken noodle . We also have the vegetable one but haven’t gotten around to trying it yet. Now I have a recipe . Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Rebel Guy! I have only had the chicken and beef too but people have told me vegetable is just as good as the other two!
We bought the chicken and the vegetable one 2 weeks ago . The chicken one is almost gone.
Lol I’m usually the opposite- make the soup and use the leftovers for rice pudding! It looks yummy and we’re about to get soup weather!
Haha how funny!

Perfect for a cold winter day 🙂
Like today…lol Thanks Karin!
I always have rice left over. Next time I’ll have to try this.
I hate wasting food! Lol
Hearty soup ! Love to take this soup as a meal !!
That’s what I did! Thanks Megala!
I will be making this soup! thank you!
I found that by letting it sit over night it was even better! The rice absorbed all the flavor of the chicken stock and it was amazing!!
thanks for that tip!
You’re welcome! Have a great week!
oh so colorful and yum!
Thank you! The longer it sat the better it got!
This soup looks perfect for a cold winter’s day, Diane. I even have all the ingredients, including the veggie broth. This will be served very soon!
It was a nice lighter type of soup. Sometimes I just want a soup like this instead of creamed soup. chili etc. Enjoy!!!
I prefer brothy to creamy soups, so this is perfect for me!
Thank you Jack!
Ahh, this soup looks hearty and nourishing. Perfect after a day of winter activities – or if you’re feeling a little under the weather.
Thanks! Occasionally I try to eat healthy! 🤣😂🤣
