Add herb/spice blend, then grains/beans/starch and, finally, tomatoes and broth. Stirring occasionally, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until ingredients are tender and flavors have blended, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in parsley or cilantro. Adjust seasonings, including salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
