Should I Cook Rice Before Adding To Soup?
It depends on the type of soup you are making. If you are making a soup that requires the rice to absorb the flavors of the broth and vegetables, such as a chicken and rice soup, then you should add the raw rice to the soup and let it cook in the broth. However, if you are making a soup that requires already cooked rice, such as a minestrone soup, then you should cook the rice separately and add it to the soup at the end. It ultimately comes down to the specific recipe and the desired texture of the soup.
