Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I cooked the quinoa on the side and added it right before serving. I didn't want to lose any broth from cooking the quinoa in the soup, or make the broth cloudy.

I substituted the Tarragon with Dill and it was really refreshing along side the lemon.

I also substitute the salt with Bragg Liqiud Soy Seasoning to taste.
