French Onion Soup Rice is a comforting and flavorful side dish that combines the rich, savory elements of classic French onion soup with fluffy long grain rice. This simple recipe uses beef broth and canned French onion soup to infuse the rice with deep onion and broth flavors, finished with butter and fresh parsley for a creamy, aromatic finish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Rice and Broth

  • 1 1/4 cups Long Grain Rice, uncooked
  • 14.5 oz can Beef Broth
  • 10.5 oz can French Onion Soup

Finishing

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) Butter, cold
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked long grain rice, beef broth, and French onion soup. Stir the ingredients together to evenly distribute the soup and broth.
  2. Cook the rice: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice absorbs the liquid and is tender.
  3. Add the butter: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the cold butter. Stir the butter into the hot rice until fully melted and incorporated, giving the rice a rich, creamy texture.
  4. Garnish and serve: Fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm as a tasty side dish.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef broth with vegetable broth and choose a vegetarian French onion soup.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, add sautéed onions before cooking the rice.
  • Adjust the amount of butter to your taste or use olive oil for a lighter option.
  • Make sure to use a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the rice cooks evenly and absorbs all the liquid.
