Should I add Cooked Or Uncooked Rice To My Lemon Chicken Rice Soup?

You can add cooked or uncooked rice to your soup, but it can affect the recipe. Uncooked rice absorbs liquid, so you’ll need a lot more water or broth to cook, and it may prolong your soup’s cooking time. Adding uncooked rice to your soup allows your rice to absorb the flavors of your recipe.

Tips

You can cook it faster by using store-bought or previously made chicken broth and leftover chicken. This will eliminate the time to make the broth and cook the chicken, and you’ll still get a fresh and bright soup.
Don’t add the lemon juice until you have finished cooking. When it comes to the lemon soup, adding the lemon too early will make the soup bitter. Instead, add it after cooking and it will bring out a fresh and bright flavor.
