Yield: Serves 7
- 3/4 cup quinoa
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 zucchini, diced
- 1 large jalapeno, deseeded and finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth (use more if needed)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- salt and black pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, celery, red bell pepper, potatoes and jalapeno. Sauté for 15 minutes or until potatoes are slightly soft.
Then add zucchini, garlic, cumin, dried oregano, pepper and salt. Stir well.
Add quinoa and broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer covered until quinoa is cooked, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove about 1 1/2 cups of hot liquid from the soup and pour into a small bowl. Add peanut butter to the hot liquid and stir to make a smooth paste.
Pour the peanut paste into the soup and mix well. Simmer for 10 more minutes. Add lemon juice, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve the quinoa soup hot.
Note: If soup is too thick, add more broth.
