Red lentils and brown rice make for a thick vegetarian soup that's full of fiber, filling you up quickly. I came up with this when I only had a few ingredients to work with while in the mood for lentil soup. Top with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion , coarsely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can Italian-style diced tomatoes , 14.5 ounce
  • 1.25 cups red lentils , rinsed and drained
  • 0.5 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon dried celery flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, diced tomatoes, red lentils, brown rice, Italian seasoning, celery flakes, white pepper, and marjoram. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils break down and rice is tender, about 55 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir balsamic vinegar into the soup just before serving.
