Crockpot Red Quinoa

we reprint this post because our quinoa is MIA. perhaps the mere thought, the dream of using this grain will seduce it out of it's hiding place. we find a recipe that might just make quinoa employable and lovable; adapted from: thenourishinggourmet

Crockpot Red Quinoa and Chicken (soup)

1 cup RED quinoa (soaked overnight in water)

2 cups of chicken broth

3/4 cup of white wine

2 cups of water

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon of salt

6 large carrots, cubed

1 onion, minced

2 chicken breasts or thighs

3 Tablespoons of butter (opt)

Throw all ingredients in your crockpot, cook 4 hours on high or 8 on low. Shred the chicken when done, and stir into the stew and you are done!
