Servings: persons

1 cup sprouted quinoa
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium sweet onions
2 medium leeks (white and pale green part only)
1 large clove garlic
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper (optional)
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken broth( plus more if you want a thinner soup..see note*)
2 cups beef broth
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Thinly sliced green onion and crumbled bacon for garnish

1
Cook the quinoa per package instructions. Normally you rinse the grain and combine it with the 2 cups water, bring to a boil and then gently simmer, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
2
Slice the onions and leeks thinly and mince the garlic clove. In a 4 quart soup pot melt the butter and oil and add the onions, leek, garlic, sugar and aleppo pepper(if using). Gently saute until everything softens but doesn't brown. This might take about 20 minutes.
3
Add the wine, chicken broth and beef broth and bring the soup to a boil. Add the cooked quinoa and then simmer the soup for about ten minutes.
4
After 10 minutes cool the soup a bit and then in batches, puree the soup until very creamy. Return the soup to a clean pot and then re warm and taste for seasoning.
5
To serve, ladle soup into bowls and garnish with green onion and crumbled bacon.
6
Note: If you feel the soup is thicker than you like, thin it a bit by whisking in a little more chicken broth after pureeing.
