When I am not feeling too good or recovering from a cold I really crave something that is quick, light and comforting at the same time. So I cook this vegetable broth, and sometimes I add some organic chicken breast in it too.
If you would like to add some meat; start by dicing up the chicken breast into small cubes ( half a breast is sufficient for this recipe), and gently fry it on some olive oil, stirring continuously until they are seared. Than proceed with the steps below.

Steps

1

Pour the water in the pot, and turn on the gas. Make sure the pot is large enough to hold all the vegetables too.
2

Add the chopped onion, celery stalk, vegetable stock cube, and the quinoa. Bring it to the boil. Peel and dice the potatoes and chop the parsley while you are waiting for the soup to come to boiling.
3

Add the frozen mixed vegetables, the potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic and celery salt, and allow it to gently simmer on medium or low heat until the vegetables are almost done.
4

Add the tinned beans (drain it first), and some of the chopped parsley. Adjust the taste with more salt or more of the spices according to your liking.
5

When the vegetables are all cooked but still firm (you don’t want mushy vegetables), you are done. It should all take around 30-40 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and chilli flakes. Enjoy !
