I used 2.25 cups broth and it turned out perfectly. I like to cook a similar batch once a week and add to meals throughout. I especially enjoy cooking an egg into it for an easy and quick breakfast. - 7/10/16

Nice thought, but I don't see the quantity for Chicken Broth listed in the ingredients. I tried 2.5 cups (based on the directions on my bag of rice and bag of quinoa, including a bit for the lentils) and it was a sloppy mess. If trying, I'd start with 2 cups and go from there. Wash your quinoa. - 4/3/16
