In a soup pot, heat olive oil and sauté onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic until onion is softened. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside. Combine tomatoes, stock, and seasonings in the pot and bring to a boil. Add rinsed brown rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
