Here is how you make Quinoa Red Lentil Stew:

? Method: In a large stockpot on medium heat saut? onions in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the veggies and spices and stir. Turn heat up to medium-high and add the water (or equal), lentils and quinoa. Stir. Cover. Bring to a boil and lower the heat. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. With an immersion blender (or in 1/2 batches, carefully), puree only 1/2 of the soup. This step isn't necessary, but blends everything nicely (highly recommended). Turn off the heat and let it chill. Finally, add the salsa (or equal), cilantro and apple cider vinegar. Stir and serve. Serves 6.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PHIZZYLIZZY.
