Dinner - Chunky FULLY LOADED Beef Stew w/ rice

The Meal

Tonight is a lazy night. Nothing special, just soaked a half cup of jasmine rice in a can of beef stew for 20 minutes, then added 555ml of water, filling my rice cooker to 6oz. I did not preseason it as I do no really know what to expect, other than beef stew that is full of rice.

This meal was prepared in several parts:
  • 1 - 18.8 oz Campbell's Chunky FULLY LOADED Beef Stew [sic]
    [370 calories]
  • 1/2 cup Jasmine rice
    [320 calories]

Taste

Review: Wow, I was not expecting having to add salt, I did not realize that this soup was low sodium. Anyway, after adding my typically salt, chili powder, and salt, this was amazing. The rice is great, covered with gravy, waiting for this to cool was the hardest part! The overall outcome was very large, for my rice cooker anyway, only lost .5 oz's of water cooking, the rest was either absorbed or still in there (it has to be- mass balancewise). Never had this soup by itself, but it's pretty good, though I did add a lot of onion, which I can taste, and that makes me happy.

Side note: Goes great with Honey Moon Summer Ale

Portion Size: 3-4 medium portions, 5-6 small portions (made so much I will not be finishing this tonight)
