Instructions
- Heat the steam kettle or large stock pot to medium-high heat. Once warm, add oil, onion, garlic, and oregano. Sauté until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add water to onion mixture and bring to a boil.
- Add chicken base and whisk to ensure base is fully dissolved.
- Add beans and quinoa.
- Reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is soft and tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add kale, lemon juice, and pepper. Let cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until kale softens and is bright green. Continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes to let flavors meld and internal temperature reaches at least 165 °F. Critical Control Point: Heat soup to internal temperature of 165 °F for at least 15 seconds. Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher through service. Chill for later use in pans with no more than 2” depth of food. Cool to 70 °F within 2 hours and 40 °F within 4 hours. Reheat to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F for at least 15 seconds.
- For service, ladle 8 oz of soup into each bowl.

Notes
*See Marketing Guide for purchasing information on foods that will change during preparation or when a variation of the ingredients is available.
This soup can be made vegan by substituting vegetable stock for the chicken base and water.
Use fresh lemon juice or canned lemon juice. Meyer lemons and juice will result in a lemon flavor that is too mild for this soup.
Serve with one cheese breadstick or whole grain roll. Serve with sunflower seeds for additional M/MA crediting.
