Ingredients:
- Quinoa
- Eggs
- Lemon Juice
- Parmesan Cheese
- Fresh Parsley
Quinoa replaces rice in this protein-enhanced version of a classic Mediterranean dish. Quinoa also adds a nice texture, and is a bit quicker to cook than rice. Just whisk lemon juice with eggs to form a frothy base then combine slowly with 1 cup of the hot broth. Add this mixture back into the rest of the broth and cook for just a couple of minutes to thicken. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Soup’s up!
Ingredients:
