Super Quick Soup

I need to make a video on how easy this is...took me 1/2 an hour at the most, and was sooo easy.

Cooked 2 cups of quinoa in 4 cups of water for 15 minutes simmer , covered (you can rinse the quinoa before cooking if desired)

As the quinoa is cooking...washed 5-6 carrots and 5-6 celery stalks and cut in half and throw in the food processor with the s-blade.
Peeled 2 shallots and added them in the food processor with the carrots and celery. Process.

Cut out large vein stem from the middle of collards. Roll collard greens and slice to make long noodle like strands.(Chiffonade)
Drained and rinsed a can of Eden aduki beans.

Get a soup pot hot and add the food processor veggies with a little avocado oil , cook for 5-10 minutes.
added the beans, cooked quinoa and water to cover well and salt,  brought to a boil and added the collards. Wilt the greens 5-10 minutes and you've got healthy and nutritious soup!
Then I put away the extra for other meals during the next few days, or you could freeze it also.

It's that fast and easy!

I try to keep the ingredients simple as I am allergic to so many foods but you can add any beans, greens, veggies, spices etc that you like...
