Quinoa, Carrot and Lentil Stew image

This recipe is based on one from Patricia Green's and Carolyn Hemming's book, Quinoa 365. The intro states, "The lentil is said to be one of the first domesticated crops, dating back to prehistoric times. An important component of any vegetarian diet, lentils are high in protein and often used as a meat substitute. To make this recipe a soup rather than a stew, reduce the thickness by precooking the quinoa, then adding it to the soup."

I loved this stew! It was so flavorful and filling. I added some chopped kale to the stew, and it was even better. I will definitely be making this again.
