Quinoa Chowder with Spinach, Feta, and Scallions Recipe
"Hearty quinoa, vegetables, and feta cheese stand in for the cream and seafood in this healthy vegetarian soup that’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner. What to buy: Quinoa can be found in your local health food store, gourmet grocery store, or online. Avoid using pre-crumbled feta in this recipe—it tends to be too dry.
