Sopa de Quinoa

This is the most famous of all Bolivian soups. You can get it in any restaurant and it is vegan, except when meat broth is used. It is easy to prepare, nutritious and inexpensive. That’s why it’s a good travel companion through South America. If you prefer to replace quinoa with a local grain, you can use bulgur, millet or risi (pasta), but then it is no longer quinoa soup.
