Kale Quinoa Soup

two 32-oz boxes of Pacifica Organic Vegetable Broth or homemade broth of your choice
1 large yellow onion, sliced and halved
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
organic coconut oil
sea salt
pepper
½ c Organic Quinoa**
1 head kale (red, green, or lacinato/dinasaur), chopped 

1. Heat the vegetable broth and quinoa over low/medium heat.
2. Soft boil for 20 minutes until the quinoa is cooked. Quinoa is cooked when the spiral-like germ has separated and is floating in the broth.
3. While quinoa is cooking, stir-fry the onions and garlic in coconut oil until the onions are translucent. Add salt & pepper to taste.
4. Transfer onion/garlic mixture to the broth.
5. Add chopped kale at the end and mix in, but do not cook. The heat from the soup will soften the kale without destroying all the good vitamins and minerals and anti-aging properties!

This is one of my very favorite recipes – Enjoy! Jennifer
