Also, a Quinoa Veg. Soup Recipe:

3/4 cup dry Quinoa
6 Cups veg stock or water
3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup onion
1/2 cup carrot chopped
1/4 cup celery chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup chopped cabbage
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper
1 tbs curry powder (optional)

Saute the quinoa, carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and garlic in oil until golden brown. Add veg. broth, tomatoes, and cabbage and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Season to taste. You can add beans too.
I tried it, and it's great! As always, I modified/personalized the recipe to my own liking- I didn't use cabbage (just because I'm not too fond of it), put some bay leaves in while it simmered, used 4 cloves of garlic, and also threw in about 2 tbls of Worcestershire sauce (that technically makes it non-vegetarian, but adds a lot of flavor).
