Perfect for Fall!
Another recipe from pinterest that turned out absolutely delicious only this one is healthy. ;)
Ingredients:
1 squash (the recipe called for butternut, I used acorn)
Chicken (I used thawed chicken thighs)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can kidney beans
1 can diced tomatos
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
parsley
bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
- Steam the squash: Cut it in half and place it in a glass dish cut side down with a cup of water. Cover tightly with foil and bake in the oven at 350 for 1 hour. When done mash one side of the squash and cut the other half into chunks for the soup.
- Pour the chicken broth into a pan. Place the chicken in the broth and cover. Cook on Medium-High heat for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Pour chicken and broth into bowl for later use.
- Put a little drizzle of oil in the pan and cook the onion and garlic until soft.
- Add the broth, the mashed squash, the tomatoes, and the quinoa. Cook over medium heat for 15 min.
- Add the chicken, the chunks of squash, the kidney beans and cook for 5-8 min. Add the parsley and bay leaves.
- Salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
This kept really well for a week and then it was gone. Enjoy!
