Comments: For the latest run I had to use a purple onion which created a muddy orange colored soup which wasn't the most beautiful. Also 3/4 of a cup of quinoa makes a ton of cooked quinoa. It overpowered the carrot soup. Next time we will make less quinoa and probably add more broth.
Tools note- make sure to have a really good mixer or at best an immersion blender.
Overall- tastes alright. Not as good as last time when we used better quality veg broth, white onions and had an immersion blender to get a better consistency.
