Ingredients

    Kroger frozen Mirepoix, 1 cup
    2 new potatoes or 1 medium potato pealed and diced
    Mrs. Dash, 1/4 tsp (or favorite sodium free seasoning)
    1 can Creamed Corn (15.5 oz)
    1 cup Yellow Corn ( I used frozen )
    1/2 cup dry (365 Organic) Quinoa
    Up to 4 cups homemade or low sodium, MSG free Chicken Broth

Tips

When I made this, the quinoa absorbed most of the broth.


Directions

Place Mirepoix in medium pot over medium heat. Add potato and seasoning. Add small amounts of broth at a time to keep from scorching the vegetables. Add creamed corn and frozen yellow corn. Continue adding broth as needed. When begins to bubble and at most of broth in pot, add the quinoa. Simmer on low until Qinoa is tender. Add water if necessary.
