I'm spending some time today making the chicken soup and the quinoa chili on pickypalate.com. I've never had quinoa before, which is why I'm sticking to these two recipes.
When I make soup, I always make loads of it and then freeze much of it for later. Unlike Ricardo, though, I love soup and often just have it (and only it) for dinner. If I remember correctly, though, I think I remember you saying that you didn't really like it much. I think this was shortly after I'd asked you to join me at Sup for lunch. Oops!
Actually, I've grown to like soup more. I like to make it. I think making it helps. I also like to add quinoa to my soups because a little bit goes far in thickening them up. Usually, I don't use a recipe for soup. I just saute garlic, add broth and a bunch of vegetables. I might add white beans and I sometimes add pasta or quinoa to individual servings.
Here's our quick, simple and delicious veggie stew (we make it in a crock pot, but I'm sure you can do it in a regular, non-crock pot):
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 zucchinis, halved chopped
- 2 potatoes, cubed
- 2 carrots
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 can kidney beans (both beans undrained)
- 1 can tomato paste
- 1 "box" vegetables broth (you know, those boxes of broth that have ? ounces...)
- 2 bay leaves
- kosher salt and ground pepper
- Add enough water to cover the veggies for a thinner stew
Literally, just toss everything into a pot and simmer until everything is tender. Or, if you're using a crock pot, set on low in the morning and let it do its thing all day. Remove the bay leaves before eating, as they're not super tasty on their own.
Thanks, Coach J! We do have a crock pot now (in the background of the picture there). I'll definitely be making this. Ingredients are going on the list now.
