Chicken Soup with Quinoa

Today I have just been feeling crumby and really have been trying to eat clean....so instead of going out and buying soup (or making my husband buy me some hehe) I decided to make my own with what I had in the house...

Now this is not the first time I have tried to make a chicken soup before, the first time came out horrible I actually poured the whole thing down the garbage disposal!! This time it came out fantastic!

Here it is:
Chicken Soup with Quinoa


  I have no idea how much water I put in the pot but it was quite a bit (filled my pot up 1/2 full)
2 chicken breast
(Boil the crud out of them)
When chicken starts to boil add:
4 bouillon cubes, 2 heaping scoops minced garlic, cracked pepper...

 Then when chicken is cooked take out and shred it then add back to water and
Add:
2 small or 1 large sweet onion chopped
3 stalks celery chopped
12 baby carrots chopped
1/2 cup frozen green beans
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach

After 5 mins boiling add 1/2 cup quinoa!
I had two of these bowls I don't know if that's too much but darn it was good and I haven't eaten much today!
