Ginger Pork Quinoa Soup
.JPG)
It was 26 F here in Milwaukee this morning so it's still good weather for soup. This soup packs from great nutrition from the spinach and quinoa. This will be perfect after my long run today. I have my final long run today before the Boston Marathon. I don't feel ready yet, so maybe 18-20 miles today's of hills will help me get there. Hope you enjoy this soup!
