Lentil-Quinoa Soup

"Delicious lentil soup made complete with quinoa for a healthy grain. I altered a recipe (that I can no longer find) when eating an anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, allergen elimination diet. The potatoes or quinoa can be left out. The diet is over, but this soup still gets made weekly. It's healthy, tasty, and easy to save and reheat later. Could be made vegetarian/vegan by using vegetable broth."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I usually take dishes I love from restaurants or friends and add my own twist. I live with my husband, twin babies and four cats. I'm a part-time scientist and part-time stay-at-home mom, which keeps me busy and happy these days. I try to eat and cook healthy, whole grains and veggies and fruits and avoid processed food (and I make all my babies' food that way). However, I have a weakness for white ciabatta bread dipped in olive oil, bacon, potato chips, and ramen noodle soup, meaning I don't always stick to my own rules.
