Chicken Quinoa Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly soft, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the quinoa, then add the chicken broth, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Partially cover and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the quinoa starts to soften, about 12 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and stir to warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the sour cream and Cajun seasoning to taste.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, and paprika and saute until onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add chicken and boil until meat is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove chicken to cool.
• Stir squash, tomatoes, and quinoa into the pot. Reduce heat and let simmer until squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces and return to the pot to heat through, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and ground black pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
• Place butternut squash pieces cut-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add about 1/2-inch water to the dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake chicken and squash in the preheated oven until butternut squash is tender and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Scoop cooked squash flesh into a large pot. Pour in chicken broth and mash together until smooth using an immersion blender or potato masher.
• Cube cooked chicken and add to the pot. Stir in onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, quinoa, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring soup to a gentle boil; reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is tender and flavors are well-blended, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• In large pot, sauté vegetables in oil, 6-8 minutes.
• Stir in quinoa and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until quinoa is tender.
• Stir in chicken. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add butter. Add onion and garlic to melted butter, stirring until onion begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add carrots, mushrooms, rice from package, and quinoa. Place frozen chicken on top and add chicken broth, seasoned salt, pepper flakes, parsley, and chili powder. Cancel Saute function.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

• Remove chicken breasts to a plate and use two forks to shred meat. Return shredded chicken to the pot and season soup with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Pour chicken broth into the Dutch oven. Add spinach leaves, marjoram, oregano, basil, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked quinoa. Return chicken to the Dutch oven; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Pour slowly into the Dutch oven; cook, stirring occasionally, until soup thickens, about 1 minute.
