Ingredients
- A hint of olive oil for a touch of richness.
- A generous half cup of finely chopped onion for depth of flavor.
- Two stalks of celery, finely chopped to add a refreshing crunch.
- A single carrot, finely chopped to provide a hint of natural sweetness.
- One clove of garlic, minced for that aromatic essence.
- A teaspoon of ground paprika for a warm, earthy flavor profile.
- Half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to bring a gentle kick of heat.
- Two cans of low-sodium chicken broth, each with a comforting fifteen ounces.
- Half a cup of water to help marry the flavors.
- A measured half cup of quinoa for a wholesome addition.
- A can of diced tomatoes, fifteen ounces, with its juicy goodness.
- A can of black beans, drained and ready to enrich the dish.
- One cup of vibrant frozen corn kernels for a burst of sweetness.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your personal taste preferences.
Step 1
Begin by warming up some olive oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Toss in the onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté them until the onion turns translucent and the celery and carrot soften slightly, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Enhance the flavors by adding garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes, allowing the aromas to bloom for about a minute.
Step 2
Next, carefully incorporate chicken broth, water, and quinoa into the bubbling concoction. Let it all gently simmer before lowering the heat to medium-low, covering the pot, and patiently cooking until the quinoa reaches a delightful tenderness, typically around 20 minutes.
Step 3
As the quinoa absorbs the savory liquid, introduce diced tomatoes with their juices, along with black beans and sweet corn. Give it a good stir and bring it back to a simmer. Allow the beans to warm through, which should take roughly 5 minutes. Season the dish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Freeze in single-serving portions: Pour the soup into muffin tins and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the single-serving portions into a resealable bag for easy grab-and-go meals.
- 2. Mason jar layers: Create ready-to-eat meal jars by layering quinoa, black beans, soup, and toppings like avocado and cilantro. Just heat and enjoy!
