Dinner at Home

Since Giao still wasn't feeling well, Alexis made a big pot of vegetable quinoa soup with a bit of egg for protein.


Hearty Vegetable Quinoa Soup
Inspired by both Alexis' little sister, who loves quinoa, and our travels to Peru, in which quinoa is a primary ingredient in many soups, Alexis decided to make a hearty winter soup with this protein packed grain.

-1 large golden beet, diced
-1 large turnip, diced
-1 large onion, diced
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-1 lb asparagus, chopped
-4 eggs, beaten
-1/2 cup parsasean
-1 cup quinoa
-6 can chicken broth

Sautee onions, garlic, turnip and beet in a bit of olive oil until beginning to brown. Add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until beets and turnips are soft. Add apsaragus and quinoa and simmer until tender (10-15 minutes). Mix the eggs and parmasean together and pour the mixture into the soup, stirring vigorously. Remove from heat and serve.
