An alternative to white rice is quinoa or brown rice. They pack fewer calories, giving you a healthier meal. If you’re on a keto diet, you can leave out the rice entirely.
Tips
If you want to prepare this meal ahead, don’t add the rice to the soup pot. Cook it separately, then place each in different containers and store them in the fridge till you’re ready to use. If you add the rice to the pot, it’ll turn to mush.
