Crock-Pot Quinoa Bean Soup

This recipe for Crock-Pot Quinoa Bean Soup is a tasty, fun, protein packed way to use quinoa that your family will enjoy! So easy and fuss free!

This recipe for Crock-Pot Quinoa Bean Soup is included in our new 10 Crock-Pot Easy Freezer Meals.  If you are coming to this page first and are interested in doing freezer meals, start here.  This recipe does NOT have to be frozen first, if you are wanting to do this recipe by itself, then stay on this page and we will go from here.

What a fun recipe to put together, especially if you are wanting to try out quinoa or sneak it into your meal without the kiddo’s realizing they were eating a “superfood”.  As with our other freezer meals the hamburger (or ground turkey) should be cooked  first,  This is more heating things up, softening the beans and onions and cooking the quinoa.  Since I put this together with 9 other meals I did a huge batch of 5 pounds of hamburger at once in the Crock-Pot.  It’s now my favorite way of making hamburger, and then I just divided up the hamburger (after draining the grease and patting it dry) into the various recipes.

Feel free to make this as “hot” as you are liking with the taco mix.  I prefer low salt versions, so that is what I generally prepare my meals with.  Although I used a McCormick taco mix for this, you can use your own taco seasonings as well.  What you prepare for about 2 pounds of meat should be more then enough.

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into your 5 quart or larger crock-pot and mix well.
2. Cook on low for 6 hours, the meal is ready when the Quinoa is cooked. This can be stirred if necessary.
3. Don't forget the toppings! You can eat plain of course, but cheese, tortilla's, Frito's, sour cream and tortilla chips are some of the fun additions to this meal.

Recipe Notes

Crock-Pot Freezer Meal Instructions:

• Write on the freezer bag the meal name and basic instructions.
• Brown ground hamburger or ground turkey, drain well.
• I use a 2 quart pitcher to place the gallon freezer bag in to help hold the food.
• Place all ingredients into the gallon freezer bag (I would do name brand, not sliders) except the chicken broth and the quinoa, save those for when this is ready for the crock-pot.
• Lay the bag down carefully and squeeze the air out.
• Lay flat in the freezer.
• Thaw before using.
• I wrote on the chicken broth can and the quinoa that they were being used for this recipe so they didn't get accidentally used otherwise.
