Ok so if you’ve been following the blog for awhile then you know I have a deep love for Quinoa.

I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate it into new recipes, and today I realized I’ve never added Quinoa to soup!

So the experimentation begins…

You guys… seriously… this soup is EVERYTHING! It has an amazing kick from the Lemon, but if you’re not a huge lemon fan add small amounts until it reaches your desired taste.

I love lemon so I like to boost my meals with it whenever I can. It’s just so good for you. It detoxes your liver, keeps your skin looking hydrated, it’s like the perfect fruit!

  • Cozy

  • Savory
  • and so Flavorful!

    Can you make this recipe without a Dutch oven? Just a normal pot?
