Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
