I’ll never get sick of rice, my kids might start a revolt though :)

Hmmm, what you could try is to make congee(rice porridge) out of both of them? Usually you boil the rice with chicken stock and ginger until the rice becomes mushy. Then you add some meat for the final step and let it boil along. Maybe you could replace the stock with soup powder? It depends on the soup mix though and it’s definitely an experiment. But in general congee is very versatile and you don’t need a lot of rice for a full meal.
