This thick and flavorful soup is loaded with protein from two sources— quinoa and red lentils. And don’t worry if you think your children (or husband!) won’t eat it because they hate lentils. Red lentils disintegrate as they cook! Instead, the protein and vitamins will be absorbed into the liquid, so you will benefit from their nutritional value and flavor. Thank you, Estie H.

does this freeze well?
It should. Someone people do not like freeze quinoa in soups. You could also make it without the quinoa and then add it in after.
Unless you use pre-washed quinoa you must rinse it a few times before adding. Otherwise it will add a bitter taste to the soup
easy to make, healthy and delicious I am officially a fan of this soup. really easy to make, tastes amazing, filling, and healthy. win win win.
