Butternut Squash and Quinoa Chili

From Lizzie Fuhr, POPSUGAR Fitness

Notes

I garnished my soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt and scallions, but any traditional chili toppings will work.

Quinoa Chili

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 yellow onion, diced
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    2 jalapeƱos, sliced thin
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
    1 14-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
    1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    1 teaspoon (or more) red pepper flakes
    2 cups vegetable stock
    1/3 cup dry quinoa

Directions

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or soup pot, and cook the onion, garlic, jalapeƱos, and salt until soft (about 5 to 7 minutes). Stir frequently.
  2. Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  4. Pour in the vegetable stock and dry quinoa. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 to 40 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and squash is tender.
