1
Heat a 6-quart stock pot over medium heat. Drizzle with oil. Drop in garlic, onion, carrots, celery and peppers. Reduce heat to low/medium-low and cook until carrots are softened. Be careful not to have the burner too hot or the garlic will burn.
2
In a separate large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil. Saute eggplant over medium heat until softened and browned (or you can also cook it in a 375F degree preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.)
3
Stir eggplant in with the other vegetables in the stock pot. Stir in seasonings. Add crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes-combine thoroughly. Stir in beef broth and tomato sauce. Simmer on low for 20-45 minutes until fragrant and tasty. Stir in brown rice. Serve with a garnish of parmesan cheese.

For reheating purposes: This soup will thicken significantly due to the rice. You will likely need to add a splash or two or three of water to the bowl of soup before heating.
