Ingredientes
- 3/4 cup red or white quinoa, rinsed and drained (I used white just because it makes the soup look more creamy)
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds
- 1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil (I probably used about 3/4 of a Tbsp)
- 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 large red potato, diced (about 1 cup)
- 4 small shallots, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups plain soymilk (I used low fat soymilk)
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 3 Tbs. chopped cilantro, plus a few sprigs for garnish
- Lime wedges, optional (I would actually recommend using the Lime because it adds a wonderful flavor to the soup!)
