Quinoa Peanut White Bean Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and celery, and sauté until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Add beans and garlic and stir for 2 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes and their juices, and vegetable stock. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add quinoa, parsley, oregano or other herb, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer until quinoa is cooked, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Saute carrots, celery, bell pepper, and onion until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, broth, quinoa, giardiniera, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a soup pot. Sauté the onion over medium heat until translucent, then add the garlic, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden and softened.
• Add the remaining ingredients except the last three. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the quinoa is cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Add the peanut butter, stirring well to blend in completely, then simmer over very low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the quinoa is puffy and the sweet potato is tender.
• Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or so. It will thicken as it stands. Just before serving, adjust the consistency with water as needed, then heat through. Adjust the seasonings, then serve.
