In a large saucepan bring chicken broth and 1/2 cup of hot water to a boil.

4
Return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
5
Add white rice and toasted almonds, simmer for an additional 15 minutes.

Keep your eye on the pot, as you will need to add water, about 1/2 a cup at a time as needed to keep the rice from sticking and drying out.

Cook for 15 minutes more.

Check to see if you need more water.
