Quinoa is an excellent source of complete protein, fiber, minerals like iron and magnesium, and vitamins. Quinoa is also gluten-free.
Squash improves vision, strengthens the immune system, and supports heart and digestive health. It also contains antioxidants.
I had the flu and body aches, so I decided to combine them.
The result was delicious and comforting.

Steps

20 minutes

1

In a small saucepan, add the water and squash pieces. The water should just cover the squash—don’t add too much, as squash releases water. Add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Cook until the squash is soft.
2

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly. Wash the quinoa several times until the water runs clear to remove its bitter taste.
3

In another small saucepan, add the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
4

When the quinoa is cooked and most of the water is absorbed, drain it in a strainer to remove any excess water. Set aside the cooked quinoa.
5

When the squash mixture is cooked, blend it until smooth to make a creamy soup.
6

When the soup is thick, add salt to taste, then stir in the cooked quinoa. Gently fold to combine.
7

Serve hot.
