Lemon Chicken Quinoa Soup


Delicious and warms you up during these cold days!



2 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cups peeled, chopped carrots

4 stalks celery

6 cups chicken stock/broth

1 teaspoon tarragon

salt & pepper, to taste

2 bay leaves

1/2 cup tri-color quinoa

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

zest of 1 lemon

2 cups cooked, shredded/chopped chicken*

1 teaspoon chives





DIRECTIONS:

In stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute onion, carrot and celery to soften. Pour in chicken stock, tarragon, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Bring to boil, add in quinoa and reduce heat to simmer and cook 20 minutes or until tender. Stir in lemon juice, zest, chicken and chives. Serve hot.





Notes.......If you don't have already cooked chicken, stick 2 uncooked chicken breasts into the hot broth while the quinoa is cooking. After 20 minutes, remove, shred and return to the pot.

I did this it works great!
