This is a delicious, thick soup that would be good year-round but especially during the cold winter months. This has a lot of delicious flavor and simple goodness that goes perfectly with a hunk of bread.
🥣 The Amish and Soups
Soups are a natural in Amish culinary culture. A big kettle on the stove top filled with broth, potatoes, chopped veggies, usually a meat, and some seasonings can make for an instant, easy meal that can serve many. There's nothing better among the Amish than filling a ladel full of warm, homemade soup, filling up a bowl and then going to sit by the woodstove. Classic Amish winter evening.
Favorite soups among the Amish include:
- Cream of celery
- potato
- vegetable soup
- corn chowder
- Chicken soup
📋 Step-by-Step Creamy Vegetable Rice Soup
There is not much step-by-step to this, it was incredibly easy.
You can see the ingredients in this soup are very basic, but there is a lot of room for experimentation with different veggies and seasonings, but if you want ot keep it super simple, stick to the recipe as presented here.
Chopping the veggies will be the most difficult part of this, but you also can "cheat" and buy pre-chopped if you want.
Serve with bread or cheese and crackers. You could also top with bacon bits. Either way, this soup is super!
By the way, I know a lot of people don't like Velveeta cheese (a lot of people do, though!), so you just swap it out for regular shredded Cheddar instead and it'll still be a super soup!
