Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 small carrot, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
6 cups vegetable broth
⅓ cup dry brown rice, rinsed
2 cups shelled edamame, cooked
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Juice of 1 lemon
Dallop of Greek yogurt, for garnish (optional)
½ lemon, sliced, for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-low heat. Add oil. When oil is melted, add yellow onion, carrot, celery and bell pepper; cook until softened, 7–10 minutes.
Stir in smoked paprika, thyme, garlic, salt and red curry paste, and continue to cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in diced tomatoes, and cook for a few minutes over medium heat. Stir in broth, and increase heat until soup comes to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and add brown rice. Cook, covered, for 40–45 minutes or until rice is soft.
When rice is cooked, stir in cooked edamame, maple syrup and lemon juice. Heat until edamame is warmed. To serve, ladle soup into bowls and, if desired, garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt, lemon slice and fresh parsley.

Notes

The rice may bloom and thicken the soup if stored overnight. For reheating, add more broth if a soupy texture is desired.
