Every year during the holidays this was a favorite side dish that was a must have on the dinner table …

Rice Consomme!

You know there are just certain foods that bring back great holiday memories and if you are missing them, those traditional holiday meals just don’t seem to be complete. For me Rice Consomme is one of those beloved recipes. It might sound a bit fancy, but it’s so easy to make – so don’t be shy.

This dish is classy. It has a nutty, beefy bite to it that compliments any main dish. If you want to plan ahead, it can be made the day before and simply warm it up in the oven before serving. When I was little, I remember piling it up on my plate and picking the mushrooms out and giving them to my mom … it took me a while before I liked mushrooms … then I would pick all of the water chestnuts out because I DID love them and saved them to eat at the end. Yes, I was one of those that separated my food and ate one thing at a time, but thankfully I FINALLY grew out of it (for the most part, lol).
