Chicken Quinoa Soup
.JPG)
This recipe was modified from one posted by Runners World.
The recipe was proposed to help with recovery. Amino acids in chicken rebuild broken down
muscle tissue, the carbs in quinoa refuel the body. Quinoa provides magnesium which may improve
muscle strength. I modified to make it
quicker and faster to prepare.
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion chopped
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup cubed cooked chicken
2 stalks celery chopped
2 carrots chopped
4 ounces mushrooms chopped
1 cup quinoa cooked
½ teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon marjoram
Place oil in stockpot. Cook onions and garlic until tender
or about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth,
chicken, celery, carrots, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil; add the cooked quinoa
and spices. Makes 4 servings.
I cooked the quinoa using my rice cooker, much easier than standing over the stove.
