My mom made this for me last week and it was really good.

While quinoa cooks, in a covered soup pot saute onions and garlic in

oil for about 15 minutes on medium heat. Add celery and carrots.

Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add bell pepper,

zucchini, tomatoes, and stock or water. Stir in seasonings and

summer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir in quinoa.

We used parmesan cheese and that was really good.
