Ingredients

• 2/3 cups uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
• 5 cups vegetable broth
• 2 medium sized onions, diced
• 5 gloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp curry powder (man I love this stuff)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 1 bunch kale (about 8 cups of the leaves, stalks discarded)
• 2 handfuls of baby spinach (I'd say about 3-4 cups)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Nutritional yeast flakes for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook onions for about 3 minutes in olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and stir until the onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.
2. Add 5 cups vegetable broth and stir occasionally until you reach a boil. Add quinoa and simmer until quinoa is cooked.
3. Add kale and flatten down leaves until they start to wilt (about 2 minutes)
4. Quickly add spinach and stir up the kale so spinach is in the water. (about 1 minute)
5. Blend with either immersion blender or in an actual blender until smooth. Add lemon juice and stir.
6. Garnish with nutritional flakes and eat!
