How to Make Golden Onion Butter Rice

1. Combine Soups: In a medium saucepan, mix together the beef consommé soup and condensed French onion soup until well combined.
2. Boil Soup Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the soup mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Add Rice: Once the soup mixture is boiling, add the white Jasmine rice to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the rice is fully coated with the soup mixture.
4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the saucepan tightly with a lid. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
5. Add Butter: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the small slices of butter to the rice. Stir until the butter is melted and evenly distributed throughout the rice.
6. Rest: Cover the saucepan with the lid and let the rice rest off the heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to firm up slightly.
7. Fluff and Serve: After resting, gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Transfer the Golden Onion Butter Rice to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
