Ecuadorean Quinoa And Vegetable Soup Recipes

CREAMY QUINOA AND VEGETABLE SOUP

This is a very quick and easy soup. Quinoa is a grain found in most health food stores, and many large grocery stores. It is a complete protein containing all 8 amino acids, so serve this soup with a whole-wheat roll for a filling and nutritious lunch.

QUINOA SOUP FROM ECUADOR

My friend from Ecuador made it for us and I tried to replicate it with much success. It's now one of my favorite soup to make. If you like a creamier soup, you can make it with 3 cups soy milk and 1 cup water.
