Lentil-Quinoa Soup image

Delicious lentil soup made complete with quinoa for a healthy grain. I altered a recipe (that I can no longer find) when eating an anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, allergen elimination diet. The potatoes or quinoa can be left out. The diet is over, but this soup still gets made weekly. It's healthy, tasty, and easy to save and reheat later. Could be made vegetarian/vegan by using vegetable broth.
