Sorry I haven't been on here for awhile but I was wanting to wait until my husband re-designed the blog. It still isn't 100% done but good enough for me to start posting.
We just got a new camera but I still have some catching up to do so eventually the pictures should start looking better.
Without further ado here is a recipe for a fast and easy soup to make.
Lemon Quinoa Soup
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup quinoa
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
3 cups water
4 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice ( about 1-2 lemons)
Pinch ground black pepper
1 cup half and half cream
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
Directions:
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green onions and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the quinoa and stir to coat. Toast for another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broth and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the quinoa is tender.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and lemon juice together. Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg. Stir the warm egg mixture into the broth. Stir in the pepper, cream and lemon zest. Simmer for a few more minutes to heat, being careful not to boil the soup. Serve immediately.
This soup will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
