Chicken and Quinoa Soup

Pin It Now! There is nothing quite like getting cozy on your couch, in your muumuu, in your most sophisticated outfit with your hair and makeup done, to watch football.

The windows are open to allow in the fresh, crisp autumn air.

These are the kind of days that plead for a hearty bowl of soup.

I implore you to make this on a Sunday morning, and let it cook in your slow cooker until lunch or dinner time.

It. Smells. Like. Heaven.

Well, I don't actually know what heaven smells like. If I had to guess the scent of heaven, it probably smells like a combination of truffles, cloves, pumpkin, coffee, onions cooking in butter, newborn baby and gardenias.

Anywho, the soup smells purty frickin' fantastic.

1 bay leaf
1 TBS parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Combine all of the ingredients in your slow cooker.
