Quinoa Chicken Soup

Gourgeous soup. Quinoa is amazingly healthy and can help you lose weight.

 "I just made this and ate my first bowl and I love it! Great way to eat quinoa with extra protein! It is very thick so use more water if you want it more brothy. 2 cups of cooked chicken worked out to be exactly 2 chicken breats. Thanks for posting this recipe!" - Nutmeglet

    I adapted this to be a slow cooker recipe. Meaning I didn't cook the vegetables. I cooked it fit 4 hours then added the quinoa in the last 20 minutes. It was amazing
