Cook the rice and keep it warm. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat till shimmering. Add onions and leeks with the salt, stirring until they soften but don't brown. Add mushrooms and garlic, stirring till mushrooms soften and start to give off their liquid.

Pour in chicken broth and red wine, stir in, and scrape up any brown bits that have formed. Add thyme and stir in. Reduce heat and cover. Let soup simmer for 20 minutes or so.

Just before serving, taste and add salt and pepper as desired. Stir in parsley. Put a scoop of brown rice in a bowl and pour soup over it.
