Chicken Quinoa Soup
Are you sick of my soups yet? You are probably thinking I am slightly obsessed. Well, you are right!
Soups are the bulk of what we eat for dinner during the winter months and this Chicken Quinoa Soup is part of the rotation. In the winter months soups are warming, hearty and packed with healthy vegetables, grains and proteins. I also have two children under the age of 3 to entertain and putting dinner on the table can be somewhat of a challenge. A lot of nights I go for the recipes I can prep ahead of time and make in less than 30 minutes.
If you have small children you probably know that everything revolves around nap time.
I do the prep ahead of time when the kids are napping by cutting everything up and putting them in bowls, cooking the chicken and setting out all of the ingredients that I will need (except for the cold stuff). Then when 4pm rolls around I sauté my vegetables, add in everything else and simmer the soup until it is ready. It makes for an easy meal on a busy day. I usually make a vegetable side dish and maybe some whole wheat rolls and wallah. Dinner is served.

I love all the vegetables in this healthy soup! I’m so glad soup season is almost here! Can’t wait to try this!
Great and flavorful soup Julia with so many great ingredients. I love a colorful soup. And now I’m thinking about fall!
This is the perfect soup for fall. Love that I can use all of summer’s fresh veggies.
ha! I just started doing the nap time dinner prep and it has saved my life!!! Why must they act like wild men when it is time to cook dinner? I do not get it. I love quinoa in soup it adds so much.
Story of my life! 🙂 Right around 4pm my kids become monsters…occupying them while trying to cook anything is next to impossible!
I can never be sick of soup! It can be 90 degrees out and I would devour this soup!
I never get sick of soup either!
I will never tire of soups, especially when they are as easy and flavorful and yummy-looking as this one!
Totally agree Stephanie! 🙂
