Ann’s Tips and Tricks
For extra flavor, if you have a Parmesan rind, add it to the soup with the rice and water. Parmesan has ‘umami’ and adding the rind to the soup will make it savory, and not cheesy. Remove the rind before serving, and if you like, cut into a small dice and return it to the soup.
