Chicken and Quinoa Soup
I ditched the noodles for quinoa in this homemade chicken soup. It still warms the soul just like Grandma's did but with a slightly more fun texture.
Ingredients
- 12 cups broth/stock
- 2 cups uncooked quinoa
- 2 chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- ~1 cup chopped celery
- ~1 cup chopped carrots
- 2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring the broth and quinoa to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.2 cups uncooked quinoa, 12 cups broth/stock
- Add the remaining ingredients. Continue to simmer uncovered until carrots soften to your liking.2 chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces, ~1 cup chopped celery, ~1 cup chopped carrots, 2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, salt to taste
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I'll be honest, I didn't really measure my carrots and celery. Add as much or as little as you like. It's carrots and celery!
- I really enjoy this with some freshly grated parmesan cheese on top.
- Calculating Nutritional Info with homemade stock is a guessing game. I just used a generic stock entry in MFP to estimate. It's all I really can do.
