Tomato, Kale, and Quinoa Soup
In an attempt to eat less red meat, we tried to searched for some hearty soups. I was on a kick to find a slow cooker recipe which is how we found this delicious soup.
The first time we made this recipe, we made it exactly to the original. I think we got about 8 or 9 servings out of it. Next time, we’re going to make a few changes. Next time, we’ll wait until half way thru cooking to add the quinoa. it was just a tad bit on the over cooked side to me. We had used a whole medium onion, but the flavor from it was just, meh. Next time, we’ll try sauteing and browning the onion first, to bring out more flavor from it.
