BROCCOLI CHEESE QUINOA SOUP
From "Quinoa 365 the Everyday Superfoods" by Patricia Green & Carolyn Hemming. I have put the recipe as written below but i have a few adjustments. I would add more cheese, but i like stuff really cheesey. It seemed to have more cheese flavour the 2nd day so keep that in mind if you are making it a day ahead. Don't salt until you've added the cheese since this can have a lot of salt in it. MAKE SURE that when you add the quinoa and stock and turn it down that it is actually simmering. Mine wasn't and then I had to turn it up and cook it longer after the specified time.

Steps:

- Melt butter n a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, quinoa and chicken stock into the saucepan. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 18 minutes, until quinoa is tender.
- Puree the cooked mixture with a hand blender or cool slightly and pure in 2 batches in a blender of food processor.
- Return the soup to the saucepan and add the cream.
