Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and bacon and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden. Add chilli and cumin and cook, stirring, for a further minute or until fragrant.
  2. Add sweet potato, tomatoes, stock and quinoa. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until potato and quinoa are tender.

Notes

TIP: You can use ¼ cup couscous instead of quinoa in this recipe. You don’t need to rinse couscous, just cover with boiling water following packet instructions. Transport this soup in an airtight container and reheat in a microwave on high for 2 minutes.
