Lemon chicken soup with quinoa and spinach

And I will come to you with a new UNLIKE soup. Unsweetened citrus soups are not as famous as the sweet ones, but they are definitely worth a try to fall in love with them forever.

Ingredients

• medium onion 1 pc.
• carrots 1 pc.
• chopped garlic 1 tsp
• quinoa 200 g
• chicken broth 2 l
• salt, pepper to taste
• a roll of dried basil
• spinach leaves (you can take frozen, thaw and squeeze) 200 g
• boiled chicken fillet 300 g
• olive oil 1 tablespoon
• juice of 1-2 lemons (to taste)

Directions

1. Finely chop the onion and garlic, grate the carrots. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add onions, carrots and garlic. Fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add quinoa, broth, salt, pepper and dried basil and stir.
2. Cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-12 minutes. If the soup is very stable, you can add broth or water. Add coarsely chopped spinach and chicken fillet, stir. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. Add lemon juice and stir.
