Cooler weather brings out the soups and stews in me. A combination of vegetables and beef broth make this Bolivian-inspired quinoa soup a tasty and satisfying meal. This recipe features quinoa (sounds like keen-wa). Quinoa is a whole grain that looks like the tiny version of couscous. You can find it in the health food section of any grocery store, and it’s also available in bulk at Whole Foods and your local health food stores. (recipe inspired by Whole Foods)
