Corn Quinoa Soup

While waiting in line to order food the other day, I found a stack of little postcards extolling the virtues of eating whole grains. There was a recipe on the back, but I didn’t like the picture. I thought I could do better, so I created this recipe. We both really liked the end result. Satisfying and tasty.

Ingredients

• 7 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can (15oz) of corn with liquid
• 1 cup of dry quinoa
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 4 carrots chopped
• 3 stalks of celery chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dry parsley

Method

1. Add onion to a large pot and heat for a few minutes with a small amount of broth.
2. Add the rest of the broth and corn liquid to the pot and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to a simmer and add quinoa and corn. Simmer for 8 minutes.
4. Add carrots, celery, oregano, and parsley. Stir and simmer 10 minutes.
5. Serve, Add salt to taste, and Enjoy!

Makes four servings.
