Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  3. Add the carrots, celery, zucchini, mushrooms, and green beans to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, add the rinsed quinoa. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
