Yummy Quinoa Soup

I really am not sure what to call this but it is so good!! I basically fused several different recipes together and then used what I had to create this soup. My whole family LOVED it- well except Cha Cha she thought it was just ok:) And yes I am on a quinoa kick lately and my whole family just keeps asking for more so look out!

2 Tbsp butter
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 jalapeno pepper
1 1/2 tsp cumin
dash of white pepper
dash of black pepper
3/4 cup quinoa
7 cups water
2 baking potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
7 tsp Better than Bouillon or chicken broth cubes
2 cups frozen corn
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 package of spinach
dash of lime juice

1. Saute chicken in butter or coconut oil or olive oil in a large dutch oven or soup pan.
2. While chicken is cooking, put the quinoa and water and cook on high for 5 minutes, add potatoes and cook for 5 more minutes.
3. When chicken is cooked through add garlic and chopped jalapeno pepper. Saute for one more minute and then add carrots, scallions and seasoning. Saute until veggies are tender.
4. Add water, quinoa and potatoes to the chicken/veggie mix and add the bouillon and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer for 10 minutes and then add the corn and cilantro and lime juice.
6. Heat through and enjoy!
