Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, and mushrooms, cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Pour broth into the pot, bring to a boil. Add quinoa, soy sauce, and ginger. Reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is mostly tender, about 17 minutes. Add baby kale, cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until quinoa absorbs remaining cooking liquid, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Note

I've been experimenting with quinoa and vegetarian cooking. Came up with this last night and it was delicious! I wanted to save the recipe here and share it with others. I topped mine with some chopped avocado and chia seeds for extra health benefits.
