Easy Organic Chicken & Vege Soup with Quinoa

Out come 3x2 Steamers and soup recipes...

Chicken Soup is one thing, but with vegetables and grains (esp Quinoa pronounced keenwa) is something else, enjoy!

INGREDIENTS: Quantities don't really matter...

Organic Free Range Chicken Drumsticks
Organic Vegetables (Carrots, Onion, Potato, Pumpkin, Celery, Parsnip, Turnip etc)
Organic Soup Mix (White & Red Haricot Beans, Red & Green Lentils, Buckwheat, Green Peas, Urad Dahl, Pearl Barley, Millet)
Organic White Quinoa (most complete chain of amino acids, yew!)
Organic Shitake Mushrooms (& secret ingredient is...)
Organic Vegetable Stock (Swiss Nature Vegetable Cubes are awesome!)
Organic Virgin First Pressed Olive Oil
Organic Garlic, Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Filtered Water (Preferably alkaline with high pH level of 9-10)

Season large soup pot with olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper on high heat
Brown drumsticks and add rough chopped onion, carrots and celery
Add 1-2 liters of boiling filtered water with 3-4 stock cubes
Add grains, quinoa & shitake mushroom
Add rough chopped potato, parsnip, pumpkin & turnip
Taste and season further is necessary
Remove drumsticks from bone and return cooked flesh to the pot (suck the hell out of those bones)
Simmer on low heat for 30-45 min (longer and lower the better)

I usually start at lunch have a bowl with fresh bread and (heaps of) butter, then leave the pot to blend all the flavours and reheat for dinner, better still the following day...

SERVING SUGGESTIONS...
Shaved and grilled Parmesan on country grain crusty bread

Best between surfs on these Wintery days ;-)
