Mouth-Watering Mila Soup

Ingredients:

1 yellow onion chopped
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cups vegetable stock, separated
3 cups leafy greens, chopped
½ tsp. thyme (fresh or dried)
½ tsp. cumin
Juice from ½ lemon
¼ cup quinoa
2 Tbsp. Mila
Optional: garlic (minced)

Directions:

In a bowl, place Mila in 1 cup of vegetable stock to hydrate. Set aside.

Using a tall frying pan or wide-bottom pan, sauté chopped onion in olive oil until translucent (3-5 minutes). Add garlic to pan if preferred.

Add remaining 3 cups of vegetable stock, chopped greens, thyme, cumin, lemon juice, and quinoa to pan; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium; cook until quinoa is translucent and greens are wilted (8-12 minutes).

Add soup and hydrated Mila (including the remaining vegetable stock) to a blender and puree until smooth.

This flavorful soup can also be made into a hearty dip or spread by reducing the vegetable stock used to boil the greens by 1 ½ cups.

Enjoy!
