About

This fresh-tasting, nutritious soup will warm your core and tantalize your tastebuds on a chilly day. The combination of fresh and preserved lemons, often used in Moroccan cuisine, makes for a sharp, zesty stock that stimulates the senses. Black quinoa complements the vibrant colours of carrot and parsley, but pearl quinoa would work well too.
