Quinoa Chicken Soup
It was one of those days-I needed a quick and easy soup for dinner and the rainy day had me jonsing for a classic chicken. I mixing it up a bit by using Quinoa, chickpeas, chicken breasts (instead of a whole one) and various seasonings (sea salt, tumeric and curry) that was pretty true to a standard chicken soup. Enjoy!
