Storing Souper Rice
Leftover souper rice tastes fantastic! Here is how you store the rice to make sure it lasts:
- In the Refrigerator: Let the rice cool down to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in your fridge. Store leftover rice for about 3-4 days.
- To Reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of chicken broth before rewarming to add moisture to the rice.
