    Sounds delicious! I’ve never thought to try quinoa in soup for some reason. But it seems like it would be a great addition and more protein than barley, pasta, or rice, which is what I usually use in soups.

      I wouldn’t drink it either but I love it for a soup base. I was the only one who ate this at our house too. I froze it in indiv portions to take out during the week.

    This soup looks like a must try, especially now that weather is cooling. It would probably be perfect with a piece of multigrain bread!! Thanks for sharing!
