Cook about 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Add rice and stir until rice is coated with oil and is shiny. 1 minute.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Add broth and bouillon. (Bouillon is made with the cubes plus water. Add water and cubes into the pot along with the broth.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Carefully add potatoes and squash.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Add corn.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Add the rice\u2019s seasoning pack.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Add a pinch of salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Stir and heat on high until the liquid boils (about 212 degrees).<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Lower heat to medium or until liquid remains at simmering (about 185 degrees).<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Cover and cook until potatoes, squashes, and rice are done. About another 15+ minutes. It\u2019s okay to simmer longer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Bake cornbread:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p1\">Follow directions on box to mix. For the Jiffy mix, we will mix the egg and milk together, then add the corn muffin mix and combine.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Lightly grease baking tray<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Pour batter into baking tray<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bake for about 15 minutes or until done. The top should be lightly brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Thicken soup:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">When potatoes and squashes are cooked through, the soup is done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019d like to thicken the soup, you can do this by one of the following methods:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">(a) Taking some potatoes and squashes out, mashing them, then putting it back into the soup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">(b) Let the soup continue to cook on low temperature until the liquid dissolves a bit and the potatoes and squashes start breaking down naturally. (Or store the soup and wait to eat the next day.)<\/p>\n<p>(c) Make and add a roux. Instructions here:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/how-to\/articles\/how-to-make-a-roux-a-step-by-step-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/how-to\/articles\/how-to-make-a-roux-a-step-by-step-guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">(d) Use the cornstarch thickening method. This is the method shown in the lesson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The ratio is: 1T cornstarch + 1T water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px\">In the lesson, we use 4T cornstarch mixed with 4T water (1\/4 cup each).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Mix together until it becomes slushy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Add slowly in increments into the soup and mix together. (Avoid cornstarch jellies!) Let dissolve in soup. Repeat steps until the soup achieves consistency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Add salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Storing leftover soup:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Store leftover soup in closed container in the refrigerator. Use within 4 days.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">If you need to keep the soup longer, it can be stored in the freezer up to 6 months. To freeze soup, refrigerate it until it is cool and gelatinous. Then place in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the gelatinous soup. Close the container. If the soup is really thick and can be wrapped in an airtight bag, that\u2019s fine too. Before freezing the soup, remember to write the date on it either on the bag or on a piece of tape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Reheating leftover soup:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">To reheat, place the soup in a pot and add some water. On low to medium heat, stir the soup until it is heated through.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Please recycle!<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Compost produce scraps. If you don\u2019t use compost, throw in trash.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Wash out the cans and recycle.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Recycle cardboard boxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PHOTOS FROM PARTICIPANTS<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-6313-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pasadena-library.net\\\/teens\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/18\\\/files\\\/sites\\\/18\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/pantry-particpants-Screen-Shot-2021-04-02-at-4.07.46-PM-1024x577.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6330&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pantry particpants Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 4.07.46 PM&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pasadena-library.net\\\/teens\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/18\\\/files\\\/sites\\\/18\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/pantry-particpants-Screen-Shot-2021-04-02-at-4.05.59-PM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6331&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pantry particpants Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 4.05.59 PM&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pasadena-library.net\\\/teens\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/18\\\/files\\\/sites\\\/18\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/pantry-particpants-Screen-Shot-2021-04-02-at-4.08.11-PM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6332&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pantry particpants Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 4.08.11 PM&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pasadena-library.net\\\/teens\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/18\\\/files\\\/sites\\\/18\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/pantry-particpants-Screen-Shot-2021-04-02-at-4.08.27-PM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pantry particpants Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 4.08.27 PM&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pasadena-library.net\\\/teens\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/18\\\/files\\\/sites\\\/18\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/pantry-particpants-Screen-Shot-2021-04-02-at-4.10.18-PM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6334&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pantry particpants Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 4.10.18 PM&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pasadena-library.net\\\/teens\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/18\\\/files\\\/sites\\\/18\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/pantry-particpants-Screen-Shot-2021-04-02-at-4.10.29-PM-1024x569.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6335&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pantry particpants Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 4.10.29 PM&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\">This recipe was created for Pasadena Public Library by Jane Gov, Youth Services Librarian.
