Protein-packed quinoa enhances this zesty black bean soup, perfect for a quick and satisfying family dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup quinoa
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, celery, and carrot until onion is translucent and celery and carrot are tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, around 1 minute.
  • Combine the chicken broth, water, and quinoa in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the quinoa is tender, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Combine diced tomatoes with their juices, along with black beans and corn. Simmer uncovered until black beans are heated through, around 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
