    Lemon Chicken Soup With Quinoa, This delicious and healthy chicken soup has a tangy bonus: lemon juice It’s also very easy to put together and makes a big batch I like to freeze in individual containers for a quick lunch , Mix juice of Lemon with 2 eggs whisk in 1 Ladle of broth to eggs then add egg mixture back to soup while stirring slowly, Made this tonight It’s a great recipe but needs a few tweeks 1st, as another reviewer pointed out, I strongly advise cutting down the lemon/lemon juice portion used 3 lemons and ended up having to add another 14 5 oz of chicken broth to cut down the overpowering lemon flavor 2nd, I highly recommend increasing the portion of quinoa I wanted to make this recipe after loving the lemon chicken quinoa soup I purchased from the deli section of QFC (grocery store) some months back That version had an abundance of quinoa which I really enjoyed it tasted like a healthy noodle soup (where quinoa replaced the noodles) With the soup I made tonight, I really didn’t even spot the quinoa in the soup The next time I make this, I’m going to triple the portion of quinoa and see how that works out Those two things aside, the soup was delicious and I’ll definitely make again I also added two red jalapeno peppers (chopped) and a splash of white wine while sauteing the onions, carrots and such
