The weather was pretty damp and dull at the beginning of this week and I was craving for something comforting for my lunch.I had made my Quinoa Aloo Tikkis over the weekend and had some cooked leftover Quinoa.I decided to try a curried soup using the Quinoa with some veggies and coconut milk and boy was it delicious!!!One of the best soups I’ve had in a long time and the flavors were just amazing!
Having a batch of cooked Quinoa opens up endless possibilities and that’s why I would recommend cooking a generous amount in one go.It freezes well and stays good in the refrigerator for about a week.You can use it in your salads,soup,anything really!
The addition of ginger is what makes it come alive and the coconut milk and curry spice further enhances the flavors.The Red Pepper and Green Peas add their vibrant colors and sweet taste.Its pretty filling too and you don’t need more than a small bowlful at one time.Bursting with flavors and creamy this is one soup you have to try 🙂
