    • Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. Cook it in a separate pot according to package directions (usually 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa). Set aside.

  • Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and add the shredded chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Combine Quinoa: Stir in the cooked quinoa and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy your meal with crusty bread or a side salad!
