CHICKEN AND QUINOA SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken

Yield 4

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
8 cups 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, 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.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I really enjoyed this soup. The quinoa added a nice texture and the flavor was spot-on.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and it worked perfectly.
