Broccoli Cheese Quinoa Soup image

From "Quinoa 365 the Everyday Superfoods" by Patricia Green & Carolyn Hemming. I have put the recipe as written below but i have a few adjustments. I would add more cheese, but i like stuff really cheesey. It seemed to have more cheese flavour the 2nd day so keep that in mind if you are making it a day ahead. Don't salt until you've added the cheese since this can have a lot of salt in it. MAKE SURE that when you add the quinoa and stock and turn it down that it is actually simmering. Mine wasn't and then I had to turn it up and cook it longer after the specified time.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cheese and quinoa helped to balance out the flavor of the broccoli, and the soup was very creamy and comforting.

I thought this soup was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland and the texture to be a bit too thick. I think it could have used more seasoning and some more liquid.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it could have used more flavor. I might try adding some different spices next time.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also found the texture to be a bit too thick. I would probably add more broth or water next time.
