We derive the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter from are alistic constituent quark model for the nucleon-nucleon interaction. We use the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone approach with the inclusion of the three hole-line contribution. We find that the resulting EOS reproduces correctly the saturation point, moreover the symmetry energy at low density, its slope, and the incompressibility turn out to be compatible with phenomenology. We calculate the mass-radius relation for neutron stars, and find maximum values close to two solar masses, in agreement with recent observational data.
