1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa
1/4 cup minced carrots
1/4 cup minced fresh tomatoes or drained canned tomatoes
1/4 cup peeled and diced Yukon gold or white boiling potatoes
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Steps:

Preheat a frying pan and add oil. Add onions and garlic, stir, and cook over a medium heat until onions are translucent, approximately 2-4 minutes. Add rice or quinoa and continue to stir and cook until the rice is coated and mixed with onions and garlic, approximately 5 minutes. When rice is translucent, add carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, and broth. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or longer until it reaches the desired level of 'soupiness." Cook it for a short time, leaving lots of liquid, to make a soup, or cook until almost dry to make it a side dish.
