METHOD
- In a large soup pot, heat olive oil to medium. Add onions and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes. Add dried Italian seasoning and sauté a few more minutes.
- Add celery and carrots, sauté for 5 more minutes. Next add soup stock. Let cook for 5 more minutes.
- Now add canned tomatoes and zucchini.
- Add 1 cup of water and quinoa. Cover soup pot with a lid and reduce temp to low. Cook until quinoa is fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Next, add roast chicken cubes.
- Add broccoli and fresh herbs and serve. Broccoli only takes a few minutes to cook which is why it should be added last. Enjoy with a Savoury Sweet Potato Biscuit!
