For a vegetarian or vegan option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. To add extra depth of flavor, consider adding a bay leaf to the soup while it simmers. A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end brightens the flavors. This soup is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
02
StepStir in the minced garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03
StepPour in the chicken broth and water. Add the rinsed quinoa. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
04
StepStir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), black beans, and frozen corn. Return the soup to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until the black beans are heated through and the corn is tender.
05
StepSeason the soup to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot.
