Quinoa Veggie-Bean Stew

First post as a college student! Very exciting. As you might expect, it's pretty hard going from unlimited food ingredients to being on a budget with a limited supply of goodies in the pantry. I threw this recipe together with some of my favorite ingredients and it ended up very good! I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!

Ingredients

• 1 c. quinoa
• 1 can black beans with some of the liquid
• 1 can garbonzo beans
• 1 can tomato sauce (I used trader joes tomato sauce, picture below)
• 1/2 c chopped carrots
• 1/2 chopped onino
• 2 cloves miced garlic
• 1/4 tsp papirka
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp salt
• pepper

Directions

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Cover and keep on low for 40 minutes.

The longer the ingredients stay on heat, the less soupy it will become so if you prefer a soup over a stew, try cutting the time down or use lesss quinoa.

That's it! Simple and delicious, just how a college student likes:)
