Quinoa is thought to be one of the healthiest grains.  It's actually a seed, but very healthy nonetheless.  People who are sensitive to gluten can eat this with no problem.  It's an excellent source of protein.  Cook the quinoa according to package directions.  Chop and add all the vegetables while quinoa is simmering.

Cover and continue to simmer on low until all the broth is absorbed.  Serve with chopped fresh vegetables or some whole grain WASA crackers.  Or both.  :-) . . . Lin
