You may make this with a pre-made chicken stock such as Campbells if that is all you have. 

Or you can use a chicken bone broth which I used from stewing down a whole chicken. I do that often and then use freeze the broth that has been made for soups such as this one.

Packed full of feel good nutrients from the carrots, onions, broccoli and chickens broth not to mention the addition of Quinoa. Which just adds even more healthy benefits. 

Benefits of Quinoa 

• High in Fiber
