Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 celery diced stalks
- 3 carrot diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 sweet potato cubes
- 1 oz diced tomatoes canned, not drained
- 1 oz cannellini beans canned, rinsed
- 2 oz chicken broth canned, gluten free
- ⅓ cup quinoa
- 1 cup peas frozen
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 ½ cups swiss chard chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- parmesan rind
Instructions
- Start by chopping all your vegetables and getting out all of your ingredients.
- Heat a large pot (I use my dutch oven) over medium heat and add olive oil. Saute the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, and red peppers until they begin to get soft.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes, beans, diced tomatoes, frozen peas, spices, and chicken broth.
- Stir well and add the quinoa and the parmesan rind if using. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. If you like it spicy you can add a few red pepper flakes at this point.
- When almost finished, add the chopped swiss chard or spinach and let it wilt a bit.
- Top with parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread and make it your main course. (Omit cheese if vegan)
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use vegetable broth if you want a vegetarian soup and do not use the parmesan rind or topping.
