Quebec cooking : Rice Soup

Rice soup figured on the menu of lumberjack camps. Some prefer it qui thick alas the expression “the spoon can hold straight in the soup without falling”. If you adhere with this expression use 250 ml /1 cup of rice.

By preparing the soup the day prior to serving it will be possible to degrease the broth. I like jasmin or patna rice for this soup.
