     I just finished putting this together and it's very good. I did add more veggies (onion, celery, carrots) and I used Mrs Dash chicken grilling spice for an extra sodium free zip. Very fast and tasty. A wonderful way to add quinoa to your diet. - 11/3/08

     This is a great soup. I eat soup every day and love quinoa - latest tasty and healthy addition to my food plans. I added extra vegetables because I had them in the fridge and it will definitely be a regular lunch item. - 6/1/10

     I am not familiar with that brand of canned meat, so will use my own cooked chicken with no sodium. - 5/6/21

     Will have to see if I can find something similar to the Costco breast meat that is listed in this recipe so I can try this one. Thanks for sharing - 3/12/17

     This was very good. I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, no problem. Very easy recipe to customize to your family's tastes and make a big batch for lots of leftovers! - 1/8/16
