Notes
If you want to add some vegetables and keep the soup easy and quick I would recommend adding in some frozen vegetables such as a carrot and pea mixture or frozen broccoli or some fresh mushrooms.Can I use other rice? Minute rice just makes the soup quicker to put together but if you prefer to use regular rice that is fine. I like to use basmati or jasmine rice and cook it in the Instant Pot if not using Minute Rice.
