I had never heard of quinoa until I went to Peru and discovered a delicious, traditional soup. There are a lot of ingredients, but it is worth the work!

Quinoa Vegetable Soup

INGREDIENTS

* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 2/3 cup quinoa
* 1 carrot, diced
* 1 stalk celery, diced
* 1/2 onion, finely chopped
* 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
* 3 1/2 cups water
* 2 large tomatoes, finely chopped
* 1/4 head cabbage, chopped
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Stir in the quinoa, carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, until lightly browned, stirring frequently.
2. Pour in the chicken broth, water, tomatoes, and cabbage. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the quinoa and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley before servings.
