Very good and healthy! Kids did not like it too much, but all the rest loved it. Also I used onion and no leeks.

What a great recipe to use all those fresh farmer's market veggies. And a complete protein! Win-Win. Leave out the red pepper flakes, and chop smaller for kids.

This was very tasty and filling. I did use low sodium chicken broth instead of the vegetable broth, chopped red onion instead of the leeks, and I sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on the top. I thought it would have been good with some motzarella too.

I had never eaten quinoa before. This was the first time I have ever cooked with it. I used an onion instead of leeks. I thought that this recipe is excellent. I will definitely make again.

I made this more into a main entree by adding asparagus to the veggies and instead of fresh tomatos and all the spices (low on time) I added a can of rotel for some kick. I also added cut up cooked chicken. It was awesome and very filling.

I used onion; no leeks in the grocery store this week. Very good! I like the little kick from the chili and red pepper flakes.

I substituted onion for the leeks (because that is what I had) and it was really good! Lots of flavor with a little kick!
