Rapid Risotto: the leftover miracle

Transforming leftovers!

I had some leftover rice, and some veggie soup I was tired of eating... I blended the soup into a nice creamy compote and added it to the rice over low heat. As soon as the rice was hot and the extra moisture was absorbed, I had a great single portion of risotto that I sprinkled some parmesan over and enjoyed with some red wine. A great way to reimagine leftovers I was tired of eating, and a luxurious meal in just 10 or so minutes!

Definitely recommend it for those lazy weeknights!

I think this is doable with any leftover veggie (or meat-based!) soup, as long as it's not too starchy. I have also done it with leftover pasta sauce -- works really well!

Enjoy!
