I do love soup.

I really do. Even in the heat of summer, nothing else makes you feel warm and cozy inside and out. I also like knowing what I created is healthy and tasty. Today, I threw together a vegetable soup which turned out AWESOME! So- here's the break down (I do have a photo, but I haven't had time to get it uploaded just yet):

1 T butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Melt the butter and saute the onion and garlic till al dente then add
3 carrots, skinned and sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
Saute till onions are soft, then add
2-3 lbs tomatoes, chopped
1 3/4 qt water
Bring to a boil and simmer for a good half hour till carrots are soft. Then add
1 cup peas
1 cup quinoa
Simmer 7-10 min till quinoa is cooked and translucent. Finally, add
1 Tbsp rosemary (1 sprig)
2Tbsp thyme (3-4 sprigs)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Simmer till fragrant, and serve!

We loved this, so delicious and a very healthy dinner for your family!
