Ingredients

    1 carton chicken broth
    1 carton water
    2 pieces of dark meat chicken
    2 carrots, chopped in 1/4 in pieces
    2 celery stalks, chopped in 1/4 in pieces
    1 onion
    2 Tbsp butter
    1.5 cups kale, finely chopped
    2 Tbsp minced garlic or 2 cloves
    seasoned salt, to taste
    thyme, to taste
    cayenne pepper, to taste

Tips

boil a chicken carcass from a rotisserie chicken for more flavor and a little more meat (adds a lot more time-2 hrs, but a lot more flavor-just make sure you get all the bones out!)


Directions

In a large pot, pour the chicken broth & then fill the empty carton with water & pour in 1 carton of water. Bring to boiling. In a frying pan, heat butter, then fry carrots, celery, & onion. Add quinoa & kale to pot of boiling water. Add veggies from frying pan to the pot. Boil for 30-40 minutes, until the quinoa is tender. Thicken with cornstarch & water. Add garlic, seasoned salt, thyme, & cayenne to taste.
