I just cook the rice with chicken broth instead of water. Yum! Could probably use beef broth too, but I don't keep that on hand like chicken broth/boullion.

I boil in chicken broth instead of water. It gives rice a little bit of flavor and is quick and easy.

I sometimes use a soup mix, like Knorrs Vegetable Soup Dry Mix. Just boil that in with the water and it makes the rice taste really good!
