Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to the package instructions. Once done, set it aside.
- While the quinoa is cooking, chop the carrot into small pieces and break the cauliflower into small florets. Finely chop the parsley.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Add the chopped carrot, cauliflower florets, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve hot, garnished with the chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
