This fiber-rich, low-fat soup can be ready in about 30 minutes with just a handful of common ingredients and can easily be personalized with your favorite toppings.
Add water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the quinoa, cover the pot, and reduce heat to a simmer until water absorbed and quinoa is cooked, about 15 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion until translucent and tender.
Add the peas and and chicken broth to the onion and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer, uncovered, until peas are heated through, about 5 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, or regular blender, puree the soup to desired consistency. Return pureed soup to pan; stir in the quinoa, salt and pepper and cook until heated through.
Serve with additional toppings, if desired.
Store soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Short on time, cook your quinoa ahead of time and add to the soup after it's been pureed.
Look for pre-chopped onion in your groceries freezer aisle.
Don't like or can't find quinoa, try substituting brown rice instead.
