I love soup bars at grocery stores (good ones, that is). At this little organic food store near my home, I discovered the most brilliant way to take simple tomato soup from bla to wow...

You know about quinoa, right? It's pronounced "keen-wa" and is a lesser-known grain that's recently seen a surge in popularity. I think it tastes great--plus I love the texture. But it's the fact that quinoa is so high in protein that gets me really excited.
And while I've been making quinoa salads for a while now (my favorite is quinoa + cherry tomatoes + shallots + Italian parsley), I hadn't thought much about adding it to soup ... until recently. At the soup bar, which I mentioned, the tomato soup was spiked with quinoa. Smart, I thought--and definitely something I'll be trying at home.
Do you cook with quinoa?
