Broccoli Spinach Quinoa Soup

This recipe is sooo good!! I also double batched it and so glad I did! The only thing I did different was add Jalapeno and shredded carrots, as well as use half sharp cheddar and half gouda. Also, after I pureed, I added sliced roasted almonds which added a perfect amount of crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red onion, chopped fine
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
