  2. Stir in smoked paprika, thyme, garlic, salt and red curry paste, and continue to cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. 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.

Recipe Notes

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