Kitchen Staple Substitutions
Keeping your pantry fully stocked ensures that you’ll always have quick and easy meal possibilities at your fingertips. You likely have all 4 of these ingredients on hand. However, if you’re feeling creative or simply don’t want to go on a grocery store run, feel free to tweak the recipe and use a Cooking Hack. For some inspiration, here are a couple of ways to switch up this recipe:
Milk: While skim milk produces a soup that some may consider a little too thin, 2% milk serves as a suitable, reduced-fat option. As far as a lactose-free substitution goes, soy has the best texture for soups. Just remember that this will only reduce the dairy content in the recipe as the canned soup still contains dairy.
Grains: Firstly, you can never go wrong with our most versatile grain, so white rice should be considered a pantry must! That being said, why not get creative and add another layer of complexity simply by swapping in a different Minute® Ready to Serve variety? For subtle fragrant notes, reach for either jasmine or basmati rice. Or, add a subtle, nutty flavor while also effortlessly integrating more whole grains into your meals with brown rice.
