Lemon Chicken Quinoa Soup: It’s got lots of veggies, good protein from the chicken and whole grains {plus a little extra protein} from Kroger‘s Tri-Color Quinoa.

This soup tastes savory and herby all with a little zing from the lemon. It’s really just divine…which is saying a lot because of its soup.

I’m talking about and it’s healthy.

If you have 30-45 minutes this weekend, be sure to whip up a batch of this soup.

It will fill your families’ tummies and is something you can feel totally comfortable feeding your loved ones.
