Hearty and filling, this stew is perfect for these chilly fall nights! I also love how quickly this comes together, which makes it great for a nutritious weeknight meal too!

Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups white or brown rice

- 1 can (14.5 ounces) low sodium broth of your choice
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
