If you love the flavors of chicken pot pie, you will enjoy this rice casserole made with leftover chicken pot pie soup.
I am a huge fan of chicken pot pie. Huge Fan. When nothing else sounds good, I always settle on chicken pot pie. It is such an amazing comfort food and revives my taste buds.
Then, I discovered chicken pot pie soup. It was a revelation.
I first spied canned versions of chicken pot pie soup in the soup aisle of the grocery store and decided to try making a version at home. It was delicious and a huge hit.
Because there are only two of us, we had quite a bit of leftover chicken pot pie soup. I thought it might be cool to try using the soup for baking a rice casserole side dish.
The resulting rice made an amazing side dish.
For the rice, I used a blend of basmati, brown, red, and wild rice. The brand I used is Rice Select, and I'm sure they par cook the wild rice so that all of the rice is ready at the same time.
You can use any brand or type of rice you prefer, as long it is not a quick cooking version. You will have to look at the package directions to adjust the cooking time. The directions for cooking this version on the stove top calls for simmering for 15 minutes, so if you use a different type of rice, you can adjust the time.
Growing up, baked rice was always one of my favorites. My mom always baked rice in bouillon and she would often even add pork chops and cream of mushroom soup to the mix. This recipe is inspired by my memories of my mom's rice casserole.
Chicken Pot Pie Soup Rice Casserole Variations:
You could also make this rice on the stovetop. Just add about a half cup extra of the soup for the water called for on the package directions. Just be prepared for some burnt rice at the bottom of the pot.
You can also add more chopped chicken, peas, onions, and even frozen corn to the mixture.
If you want a totally decadent dish, top it with cheese at the end and bake it a few minutes longer uncoverd.
