It's soup and stew season and I am here for it! If you are not a meat lover, or you just want a vegan option, this soup is hardy and will fill your stomach!

Start by sautéing onion and garlic in a greased pot.

Add three cups of vegetable broth.

Add carrots and celery. I personally like using the inside of the celery because it gives soups a lot of flavor but then I take them out since my family doesn't like cooked celery. By using the middle stalks, it reduces food waste since this would otherwise be discarded! I also won't chop the celery to make it easier to take out later.

Carrots on the other hand... we are big fans so I make sure to add a lot of that!

Simmer on low for 30 minutes.

Add a cup of quinoa and a can of drained chickpeas.

I always wash my canned beans as well.

Cook for another 20 minutes until the quinoa is soft and fluffy!

I also like to add a little frozen spinach right at the very end.

This might sound weird but a handful of raisins or dried cranberries are delicious in this stew too!
