Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cups roughly chopped carrots
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, plus more for topping
1 cup quinoa
1 quart fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (white meat only), skin removed
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly soft, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the quinoa, then add the chicken broth, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Partially cover and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the quinoa starts to soften, about 12 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and stir to warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the sour cream and Cajun seasoning to taste.

This soup is delicious and healthy. I love that it's made with quinoa, which is a good source of protein and fiber. I also like that it's not too heavy, so it's perfect for a light meal.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken soup, but this one is really good. The broth is flavorful and the chicken is tender. I also like the addition of quinoa, which gives it a nice texture.

This soup is delicious and easy to make. I used brown rice instead of quinoa and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery. My family loved it!
