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.
