The seed is in bloom, will it meet an early doom or survive in a tranquil sea?

Does it face an early end, will it find a real friend, should it be called

humanity? Will creation of man bring death by his hand or will life be his

destiny? The Seed - Rare earth

Quinoa Soup with Avocado & Corn

 

adapted from Lorna Sass' " Whole Grains For Busy People "

 

4 cup vegetable broth

1 cup quinoa

1 cup frozen corn kernels

1/3 cup chunky salsa, to taste

1 ripe but firm Haas avocado, diced

salt, optional

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

lime wedges for serving

 

In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the broth to a boil. Stir

in the quinoa, reduce heat to medium-high and continue boiling,

uncovered, for 15 minutes.

 

Stir in the corn and the salsa, then return to a simmer. Remove the

pan from the heat and add the avocado. Season with salt if necessary

and stir in the cilantro.

 

Ladle into large bowls and garnish with lime wedges.

 

Serves 4

Prep time 10 mins

cook time 20 mins

 

Made this last night and DH & I both really liked it. It was so quick

and easy too. I skipped the corn because I only like corn on the cob

and left out the cilantro because DH hates it but I added some chunked

Fri-Chik pieces. When I make it again for myself I will add the

cilantro because I like it. I used a medium hot salsa and ended up

adding a little bit more in the bowl.

 

Also I rinsed the quinoa before adding it to the soup (thanks to all

the tips from this group).

 

We had the soup with large baked potatoes but it was so filling I

could only eat half my potato.

 

Peace,

Diane

You're so welcome flower lady I hope you like it. Does red quinoa

taste different from the regular stuff? I had the last of the soup

tonight, yum.

 

Peace,

Diane
