It’s soup season and, I’ve been on a quinoa kick as of late. A friend gave me a recipe which can be easily adapted to whatever you have in your pantry. It’s simple to make and, the salsa I used really brings the flavor.

8 cups vegetable broth (2 boxes)
1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 12oz jar roasted garlic salsa (Trader Joe’s)
1 avocado, diced
Cilantro, chopped (about “that” much)
1 lime

These instructions are an approximation of me winging it:

Bring 4 cups broth to boil, add quinoa and reduce to medium-high heat. After about 10 minutes, add corn, black beans, and salsa. After another 5 minutes, add remaining broth, cilantro, and avocado. Squeeze in the lime. Allow another 5 minutes to heat evenly, then serve.
