Dinner - Chicken Soup w/ Risotto

The Meal

Today I am attempting to perfect what I made yesterday.
This meal consists of:

• 1 18.6 OZ. can of Campbell's Select Harvest - Chicken with Egg Noodles
  [550 mL of soup @ 120 calories per 240mL = 275 calories]
• 2/3 cup Risotto Rice
  [~464 calories]
  
• Enough water to fill the rice cooker to 3 cups
• Chopped Onions
  [10 calories]
  

The meal cooked in the rice cooker for about 30 minutes on cook, then I let it set for 10 minutes (it was still boiling) on keep warm. I had to manually change it from cook to warm to make sure there would still be water left.

Taste

Review: Better than yesterdays, if you like onion. Adding more water and letting it not cook until it popped allowed the mixture to retain a little water, which enabled the meal to flow better and not be a hard solid.

Portion Size: 3-4 medium portions

Calories: ~749

Score: 7/10 (very tastey)

Ideas for next time: Change nothing, this is a good recipe.


Also in this post I've added the calorie content to the tags for easy searching. The amount of calories listed in the tag relate to the amount of calories per serving.

Lunch - Chicken Soup w/ Risotto

The Meal

In light of having a good parking spot, I've chosen to wait until tomorrow to go purchase food.
This meal consists of:

• 1 18.6 OZ. can of Campbell's Select Harvest - Chicken with Egg Noodles
  [550 mL of soup @ 120 calories per 240mL = 275 calories]
• 2/3 cup Risotto Rice
  [~464 calories]
  
• Enough water to fill the rice cooker to 2 cups

The meal cooked in the rice cooker for about 25 minutes on cook, then I let it set for 10 minutes (it was still boiling) on keep warm.

Taste

Review: So the dish was well cooked, the rice was cooked perfectly. The mixture dried out quite a bit, forming a solid. I added dried onion and salt to make the meal have more taste, it was quite bland on its own. This meal does not cool quickly.

Picture:


Portion Size: Made enough for 3-4 good size portions.

Ideas for next time: Add onion and salt seasoning ahead of time. Salt - 1 teaspoon, onion - as desired. Try adding more water, perhaps fill to 2.25 cups.
