Directions

  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. Stir balsamic vinegar into the soup just before serving.

Recipe Note

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.
