Scotch Broth is a combination of grains and legumes (rice and beans).  People all over the world have been subsisting on the “perfect protein” combination of beans and rice for hundreds of years.  Yes, you could eat this and only this for quite a while and have what you need.  This is also easy to change in countless ways.  By adding meat and vegetables, canned or fresh of any combination you like–also by adding different spices to the mix you could easily “change it up”.
