Ingredients
1 large onion1 large russet potato3-4 small -medium carrots10 medium-length stalks of celery, washed well3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil2 cloves garlic, chopped5 cups of lightly-flavored, great tasting, vegetable broth (or water)2 cups cooked wild rice, brown rice, barley, or wheat berries
Directions
Chop the onion, potato, carrots, and celery into pieces that are about 1/2-inch or smaller. Do your best to cut everything roughly the same size, this will keep cooking time across the ingredients somewhat uniform. You should end up with about 2 1/2 cups of chopped celery.

In a large thick-bottomed soup pot over medium high heat combine the olive oil, onion, potato, carrots, celery and a few big pinches of salt. Saute for about ten minutes or until the onions and celery soften a touch and expel some water. Stir in the garlic and add the stock. Bring to a simmer and let cook for another 10 minutes or until the celery, carrot and potatoes are just cooked through - resist the urge to over cook them into mush. Stir in the rice a few minutes before the potatoes and carrot are cooked though. Remove the soup from the heat and ladle into soup bowls.

    This is my favorite soup recipe. Super easy and always comes out perfect. Healthy comfort food! My husband and I both love it so we make it often. We use a brown and wild rice mixture, add a parmesan rind during cooking, and serve w freshly grated parmesan. YUM! - 7/29/13
