Ecuadorean Quinoa and Vegetable Soup image

I have tried several recipes using quinoa and never liked any of them until this one. It is important to rinse this grain very, very well to get rid of the bitter taste. This is an adapted Moosewood recipe.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and fiber. I like to add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for an extra boost of protein.
